Katerina inherits a
scented, wooden spice box after her grandmother Mariam dies. It contains
letters and a diary, written in Armenian. As she pieces together her family
story, Katerina learns that Mariam's childhood was shattered by the Armenian
tragedy of 1915.
Mariam was exiled from her home in Turkey and
separated from her beloved brother, Gabriel, her life marred by grief and the
loss of her first love. Dissatisfied and restless, Katerina tries to find
resolution in her own life as she completes Mariam's story – on a journey that
takes her across Cyprus and then half a world away to New York.
Miracles, it seems, can happen―for those trapped by the past, and
for Katerina herself.
