"Nestled high in the Italian Alps lies Vilminore, home to Ciro, close by lives Enza, a practical girl who longs only for a happy life for her family. When the two meet as teenagers, it seems it could be the start of a life together ... Then Ciro is sent to America as an apprentice to a shoemaker in Little Italy, leaving behind a bereft Enza. Her family faces disaster and she, too, is forced to flee to America with her father to secure their future. Unbeknownst to one another, Ciro and Enza build fledgling lives in New York. Fate intervenes and reunites them, but it is too late: Ciro has volunteered to serve in World War I and Enza must learn to forge a life without him."--Back cover.
