Escaping communist Romania, activist and doctor Anca Rodescu is dismayed to discover she has been abandoned, pregnant and alone in America, by the man she loves. Years later, at the height of the Ceausescu dictatorship, change is coming to Romania, and Anca is receiving messages from her past that draw her back to Transylvania.
This is a story of love and forgiveness in war-torn Romania, and a portrait of communism and the people who are trapped within it.

Treasure Seekers
Roberta Seret
In this final installment of the Transylvanian Trilogy, childhood friends Marina and Cristina become amateur investigators, traveling from New York City and Paris to Istanbul to learn more about a web of crime among the countries’ leaders. Romanian leader Ceausescu had traveled to Tehran three days before he was executed on Christmas day, 1989, with suitcases filled with gold—gold that was never found. In their travels, the women risk their lives but deepen their friendship.
Treasure Seekers explodes with crime, passion, and a love story for the ages. But above all, it is about uncovering political truths.
