Nineteen-year-old Annabelle comes across a fallen man on her walk along the cliffs of her seaside home one night. It only takes the next ten days to begin the epic love story of a first love set amidst the backdrop of 1930's Europe.
Stefan is a rich Jewish man from Germany hiding out in Monte Carlo; a dangerous thing to be in 1930. Struck by love, he returns to Germany to settle some affairs and swears he will return for Annabelle. But in his absence, Annabelle learns a devastating secret about him.
Heartbroken, she returns to Paris.
There to pick up the pieces is widowed high-ranking German soldier Johann.
The lines between right and wrong are quickly blurring before her eyes.
Soon she discovers that neither are quite what they seem, and she will be faced with making the most difficult of choices.
Annabelle's story will intensify over the next several years, intertwined with the story of her later life in the 1960's in Cocoa Beach, Florida. She'll be torn between these two men and the choices they'll make. But one important part is missing: though we hear reference to her husband and hints along the way, there is not clear picture of the man she ends up with until the very, very end.
This story renews hope that it's never too late to make the right choice, and that some are bound to their fate no matter how they fight against it.
