About the Book

Upon hearing her words, 'the Somme', Gordon looked at her with wide eyes. He realized that he had just begun to solve a piece of his personal puzzle.

"Anna, can I ask you to translate something that might be French, or might be nonsense? Just humor me."

"What do you want me to translate?"

Later, as the train moved south, Gordon asked, "Anna, if your parents don't mind, I'd like to make a few more visits. I feel there is something in those fields back there, something hidden for me to find."

"That's a strange thing to say, Gordon. Something hidden? Like what?"

"I don't know. But something special "
