Description: "Present day. Twenty years ago, the tragic death of her boyfriend prompted Summer to give up their new baby for adoption. Since then, she has lived a solitary life with her father, focusing on her career as a vet and trying not to think of the past. So when her great-aunt Pauline comes to visit from Greece, she disrupts Summer's carefully manicured life. She brings with her tales of Gertie, Summer's long-dead great-grandmother, and a love story that spanned decades. As Summer learns more about her family's past, she begins to long for its future, and begins to track down the son she has not seen since his birth... 1916. After a tragic mistake contributed to the sinking of the HMS Britannic, Gertie Smith is determined to leave the past behind. Working as a nurse for the war effort, she is sent to the Greek island of Kea, where she meets and falls desperately in love with a Greek fisherman, Manno. But fate conspires to keep them apart, and when Gertie's past catches up with her, she has to choose between love and her freedom."--Publisher.
