But she made an enemy of her old family friend and fled Munich, living now in England, posing as an ordinary German immigrant, and preparing to graduate from high school. But then her love, Daniel, a reporter, gets a telegram that sends him back to Germany. When she receives word that Daniel is wanted for murder, Gretchen has to face the danger she thought she'd escaped, and return to her homeland.

SOME BODIES WON'T STAY BURIED. SOME STORIES NEED TO BE TOLD. When seventeen-year-old Rowan Chase finds a skeleton on her family's property, she has no idea that investigating the brutal century-old murder will lead to a summer of painful discoveries about the past, the present, and herself. One hundred years earlier, a single violent encounter propels seventeen-year-old Will Tillman into a racial firestorm. In a country rife with violence against blacks and a hometown segregated by Jim Crow, Will undertakes a painful journey toward self-discovery and must confront his own inner demons as he struggles to do what's right the night Tulsa burns. Through intricately interwoven alternating perspectives, Jennifer Latham's lightning-paced page-turner brings the Tulsa race riot of 1921 to life and raises important questions about the complex state of US race relations--both yesterday and today. This description comes from the publisher.
