When Elizabeth Keane returns to Ireland after her mother’s death, she’s focused only on saying goodbye to that dark and dismal part of her life. Her childhood home is packed solid with useless junk, her mother’s presence already fading. But within this mess, she discovers a small stash of letters — and ultimately, the truth. Forty years earlier, a young woman stumbles from a remote stone house, the night quiet except for the constant wind that encircles her as she hurries deeper into the darkness away from the cliffs and the sea.

Resumen del Editor
On the day George was born in 1897, no one knew of the true hero he would become.
With the death of a loved one on an ill-fated ocean-liner, to losing his mother to a horrible addiction, and war tearing his world apart - each harsh tragedy will help mold him into the man he is destined to become.
Yet this journey is not one he will face alone. With his best friend by his side, the pair will embark on adventures that will cross continents and cut through the stifling smoke of war.
Battling through agonizing losses and gut-wrenching guilt, can George find the happiness that has always evaded him? Or will his gift to the world be his sacrifice?
Tears of the Poppies is the highly anticipated prequel of the Forever Love trilogy and sets the story for the critically acclaimed novel, Under the Sycamore Tree.

In 1937, the Shwartz family lived a calm life in their small village in Poland. Fifteen-year-old Rachel liked to sing and go out dancing at a local night club, while her older brother David was busy running a farm and raising a family with his wife Hinda. But all that changed when the war reached Butla. First, the Russians came and kicked them out of their house. Then, the Nazis came to cart them off. But the Shwartz family resisted. David decided that no matter what, his family would not be taken captive. Instead, he snuck his family out of their village and into Hungary.
