Publisher's Synopsis
For over 60 years, Vera Eckhoff has lived in the fertile countryside near Hamburg known as the Old Earth. She arrived as a refugee child with her mother, and as always felt like an outsider. One day, without warning, Anne, Vera's niece, knocks at the door with her small son Leon. Anne has left both her ambitious, self-involved parents and her cheating partner behind. Together, these two single women find what they had never truly looked for: family and a warm, accepting home.
