The Past: It's 1939, and eighteen-year-old Anna meets Marco in Italy. They fall madly in love, a love she knows will last forever. Even though, within months, they're separated by war. Even though she's told that Marco is dead....
The Present: Anna, who'd entered into a marriage of convenience, is widowed, and so is Marco. Long after the war, she discovered that he'd survived. Now she wants to return to Italy, to Marco, for one final visit.
The Future: Anna's adored granddaughter, Carly, accompanies her--and when Carly begins to fall for Marco's grandson, she wonders if they can have the life together their grandparents never could.
