About this listen

Italy, 1943. The girl rushes down the winding streets, tucking the handwritten menu into the wicker basket and thinking only of the code hidden on the delicate paper. Will anyone forgive her for what she's about to do to save the man she loves?

Present day. Arriving in Caccipulia, Callie grips the faded restaurant menu. Found hidden in her family home, she is certain it will lead her to the truth about her grandmother's life in Italy during World War II. Why did her Nonna run away from this beautiful small town, never to return?

Local café owner Oliver's eyes light up when he sees the menu. During the war, one brave family secretly fed desperate Jewish families. Callie's heart soars at the thought that her grandmother was involved.

Diving into the town's history, Callie begins to feel at home under Oliver's soft gaze. Until they uncover a secret that changes everything...
