WHEN AUCTIONEER EMSLEY WILSON FINDS A 100-YEAR-OLD DIARY, the pages are full of surprises. The first surprise is, the diary belongs to Johanna Bonger, Vincent van Gogh's sister-in-law.

Johanna inherited Vincent's paintings. They were all she had, and they weren't worth anything. She was a young widow with a baby, without any means of supporting herself, living in Paris where she barely spoke the language. Yet she managed to introduce Vincent's legacy to the world.

The inspiration couldn't come at a better time for Emsley. With her business failing, an unexpected love turning her life upside-down and family secrets unraveling, can she find answers in the past?
