Hai­ley Rogers’ life has returned to nor­mal: hang­ing out with her boyfriend, Blake, train­ing for cross-coun­try, and slog­ging through the rest of Junior year. No more fam­i­ly secrets, hid­den maps, and dis­cov­er­ies of Nazi-loot­ed art. But then sum­mer arrives, and she’s asked to share her great-grand­par­ents’ sto­ry. While in Israel, she receives an unex­pect­ed note that upends her life. A globe-trot­ting adven­ture ensues with Blake and a cast of col­or­ful new char­ac­ters as she learns more about her mys­te­ri­ous great-grand­fa­ther and his gut-wrench­ing past. A shock­ing dis­cov­ery will have all in the group reel­ing, send­ing Hai­ley back to Texas in pieces. Hai­ley tries to for­get the past but real­izes some­times it’s too impor­tant to just let it be. 

In this rich­ly his­tor­i­cal and heart­felt fol­low-up to Hel­lo, Good­bye, Hai­ley learns that peo­ple aren’t always what they seem, and that love comes in many sur­pris­ing forms.
