October 1895 brought suffering, violence and death to Armenians living in eastern Turkey, their historic homeland. As refugees crowd Erzerum and a beloved bishop is deported, a Muslim Army captain and his father shelter their Christian Armenian neighbors the Kavafian family from the violence they think will come.The strong friendship between the two families is strained after one of the Kavafian brothers dies a violent death. His widow is left with a tyrannical mother-in-law and the family must try to solve and avenge the murder. A child's bravado, his brother's determination and his sister's resolve bring surprises, while his mother makes a decision that will change all their lives. Loyalty, murder, kidnapping and intrigue fill this fast-paced story that explores hard-to-answer questions about the nature of humanity and why we sometimes refuse to see what is coming.
