As a college student, on a trip to the Louvre in Paris, she becomes transfixed - haunted even - by a 17th century Spanish painting by Bartolomé Esteban Murillo. Researching the piece, Lina begins to uncover the dark secrets of Germany's recent past and reluctantly begins to suspect that her own family may have played a role in the Nazi's atrocities.A dramatic thriller, Obsessing Rufina is Lina's journey to reconcile her proper place in history. But, will her discoveries push her past the brink of despair? Or will knowing who she really is finally bring her the peace she needs?
