Jenn Lawrence picks the hottest titles in hardcover for July.
Elizabeth Endicott is a young woman in 1915, volunteering her time
to deliver food and medical aid to refugees of the Armenian genocide.
Frankly, she has very little experience, just a bit of training in
nursing skills and a rudimentary understanding of the language. She
meets Armen, an engineer who has lost his daughter and wife. Romantic
feelings brew and, after Armen leaves to join the British army,
desperate to make a difference, he learns he has fallen in love with
this American woman. Moving forward to present day, Laura Petrosian
is a journalist living in New York. Never really paying attention
to her Armenian heritage, her interest in her family's history is
instantly awakened after receiving a phone call from a friend. A
photo, supposedly of Laura's grandmother, is in an exhibit in a Boston
museum. This discovery unveils a history of which Laura was unaware
and a heartbreaking secret buried all this time. A emotional love
story, the author's homage to his own heritage. Guaranteed to sweep
you away this hot summer!
