Who is this woman?
At every Toronto Blue Jays game, an elderly woman sits behind home plate, her story a mystery. When sports journalist Richard Dixon notices the reclusive woman, he finds himself enthralled, determined to uncover her identity.
Marchesa di Mentone was twelve years old when her family was imprisoned in Italy during the second world war. After a miraculous escape, Marchesa finds herself an orphan, her parents and sister presumed dead. Her world changed forever, Marchesa leaves Italy behind to build a new life for herself in Scotland, cared for by distant relatives.
Despite tragedy, Marchesa thrives, marrying the love of her life, Andy, and immigrating to Canada. However, when Andy's health deteriorates, Marchesa knows she will face the painful sting of grief once more.
Now alone in Toronto, Marchesa's path is destined to cross with Richard's. Their blossoming friendship emboldens Marchesa to revisit a past she thought too painful to excavate. In doing so, she may just recover something precious she thought long-lost in the destruction of war.
