The trip of a lifetime comes with the fear of finding only heartache on the other side of the Atlantic Ocean. As lives are ripped apart by war, Eleanor Winters embarks on a journey that leads her far from her small hometown, testing her courage, her resolve, and her heart in ways she never imagined.
Young Eleanor, quiet, pretty, and innocent, only desired one thing from life: to settle down with her fiancé Jeffrey Beech in small-town Kitchener, Canada.
But her dreams are dashed when the government drafts Jeff to fight in World War One.
Opportunity knocks: board the RMS Olympic, legendary twin of doomed Titanic, and chase Jeff halfway around the world to England for one last chance to see him.
Eleanor finds herself stuck in England with no way home.
In the hopes of someday scraping together the money for a return ticket, Eleanor takes a job as a maid at nearby Chestermere Manor, seat of Alec, Lord Chestermere.
Lord Alec is sophisticated, handsome, and clever. But he carries his own wounds from the war, choosing solitude in that big, lonely house.
They find themselves drawn to each other, able to understand the other’s hurts and the other’s needs. But they face opposition from every side.
Can they win their wars of the heart as the entire world rages around them in the greatest conflict of the era?
