D. D. Abercrombie lives in a sixteenth-century house in a French village. When her visiting nephews discover bones buried in the wine cave under the house, D. D. is determined to identify the long-ago remains. She discovers her house was once an inn where visitors to the ancient abbey facing the house once stayed. She later uncovers some old letters that unwinds a 150-year-old story leading to the present day-a story that will affect her own life.
