Description

In the midst of the Armenian Genocide during World War I, a young American nurse named Elizabeth Endicott arrives in Aleppo, Syria, to provide aid to desperate refugees. There, she encounters Armen, an Armenian engineer who has already endured profound loss. As their paths diverge and Armen travels to Egypt, a deep connection forms between them, expressed through heartfelt letters that reveal a burgeoning love. Decades later, their granddaughter, Laura, embarks on a poignant journey to unravel the complex tapestry of her family's past, uncovering a story of resilience, sacrifice, and a long-held secret that has shaped generations.
