down those responsible to learn what happened to her family.
Twenty years ago, after the fall

killed or imprisoned in work camps during an “ethnic cleansing” in
Bosnia. Carla Lane has little knowledge of what went on halfway around
the world when she was a child. She is living a near perfect life in New
York City, married and soon to have a family of her own. But when her
husband is murdered by a group of Serbian war criminals, strange
memories start coming back, and she discovers that she underwent
extensive therapy as a girl to suppress her memories. She is given her
mother’s diary, which unlocks her childhood memories and reveals that
she was, along with her parents and young brother, imprisoned in a war
camp outside Sarajevo.
As her memories come back, it
becomes clear that she is the last witness to a brutal massacre in the
prison and that her brother may still be alive. She sets out to find her
brother, but first she must hunt down the war criminals responsible for
destroying her life. But these killers will stop at nothing to protect
their anonymity and their deadly pasts...and are determined to silence
the last witness to their crimes.
