Hoe ver sal jy reis om die waarheid oor jou verlede te ontdek? Leora van Wyk se wêreld word omvergewerp wanneer haar ma 'n familiegeheim onthul wat alles verander wat sy oor haar herkoms geglo het. Vasbeslote om antwoorde te vind, reis sy na Jerusalem om die spoor van 'n onbekende oupa te volg. Wat as 'n persoonlike soektog begin, neem haar diep die geskiedenis van die Tweede Wêreldoorlog, die ingewikkelde verhoudings tussen geloofsgemeenskappe en die geheime van die Midde-Ooste binne. Tussen die antieke strate van Jerusalem, historiese argiewe en argeologiese opgrawings ontmoet sy mense wat haar help om die verlede te ontrafel, maar ook ander wat verkies dat sekere waarhede verborge bly. Terwyl leidrade saamvleg, ontdek Leora dat sommige geskiedenisse nie net families raak nie, maar ook oortuigings, tradisies en gevestigde idees uitdaag. Hoe nader sy aan die waarheid kom, hoe groter word die weerstand daarteen. 'n Boeiende roman oor identiteit, geloof, liefde, familie-erfenis en die moed om antwoorde te soek waar min mense dit sou waag. === How far would you travel to discover the truth about your past? Leora van Wyk's world is turned upside down when her mother reveals a family secret that changes everything she has ever believed about her heritage. Determined to find answers, she travels to Jerusalem to follow the trail of an unknown grandfather. What begins as a personal search takes her deep into the history of the Second World War, the complex relationships between faith communities, and the secrets of the Middle East. Among the ancient streets of Jerusalem, historical archives and archaeological excavations, she meets people who help her unravel the past, but also others who would rather certain truths remain hidden. As the clues begin to come together, Leora discovers that some histories do more than affect families - they challenge beliefs, traditions and long-held assumptions. And the closer she comes to the truth, the greater the resistance becomes. A gripping novel about identity, faith, love, family heritage, and the courage to seek answers where few would dare.
