From the mountains of Crete to the dreams of postwar Australia.
It is 1941 and Vic Stockton his missed the evacuation from Crete. Behind him lie the bodies of his dead comrades. Ahead lie days hiding from the Germans in a search for safety. Hungry and exhausted, he eventually stumbles upon a monastery whose abbot offers him shelter in an abandoned hut.
As he waits and recovers his strength, supplies are brought to him by Kalliope Venakis -- a young woman with the beauty and spirit of Crete in her bones, who longs for something more than the confining traditions of her village. That same yearning has already compelled her teenage sweetheart, Andreas, to leave for Australia before the outbreak of war, to prepare a new and better life for them together.
But in the crucible of war, when all is tested and everything is at stake, bonds are formed that resonate down a lifetime.
