Set off by events in Constantinople in late September, the governments military and paramilitary troops tear through villages, towns, and cities where Armenians live. These systematic incidents lay the foundation for the genocide that will start in earnest twenty years later.

The strong friendship between the two families is strained after one of the Kavafian brothers dies a violent death. His widow is left with a tyrannical mother-in-law and unanswered questions, and the family must try to avenge the death of their loved one.

A childs bravado, his brothers determination and his sisters resolve bring surprises, while their mother makes a decision that will change all their lives.
