Izmir, 1922. As a city falls to flames, a woman holds a stranger's child in her arms and fights to save its life-with nothing but courage and faith. This is the true story of a family that never gave up. From the burning shores of Asia Minor to the snow-covered mountains of World War II, through poverty, war, and exile, Katerina and her grandson walk a path carved by history's wounds. She, a housemaid turned protector of a child not her own. He, a soldier who carried a wounded comrade for hours through the rain. And between them, the women who endured, the children who were born, and the dreams that whispered back to life. A story about people who learned to love with their hands, to fight in silence, and to keep going-with courage and hope.
