Blank Spaces details the journey of a girl named Jerusalem Walker who, as she prepares to graduate from high school at the age of fifteen, wonders what will come next. Pondering a dull future, similar to that of her housewife mother, Beryl, and her office worker father, Kevin, Jeri hopes that the empty places in her life will be filled with excitement and adventure. Her hopes come to a dark fruition when the Walker family home is ransacked by intruders. In the aftermath Jeri, and her brother, Yugi, find a mysterious crossword puzzle book which, after examination, contains enigmatic clues which lead them on a treasure hunt of epic proportions.

As the Walker family races against time, they find themselves embroiled in a strange triangle of desperation to find a priceless painting stolen by the Nazis during World War II. When their world is threatened by government agencies, the Walker family must decide whether to continue the search and put the family at risk, or return to the safe life of routine.

But If they continue, World War II history might need to be rewritten.

Blank Spaces: the Legend of Jerusalem Walker is a frantic, humorous look at a young girl's coming of age adventure.
