Working as a bookbinder and book repairer for the Met, Jen's work can sometimes be interesting but monotonous. When repairing a damaged book, she finds a romance novel cover with a German message. It unlocks a mystery. The hunt to find the message's origin takes her on a journey of her identity. Jen is also stuck in her own artistic expression. She just doesn't want to repair famous art and books, she wants to make her own.
Working in a post-11 New York the community still wears fresh scars. Jen searches for connection in her circle, in her community as well as searching the past for answers. I liked the combination of her history and identity and how the gay community was treated post-9/11 and in the 1940s.
