America, prima metà del Novecento. Tra strade infiammate dagli operai in rivolta e l'eco della Rivoluzione russa che promette la libertà dall'oppressione del capitalismo, Gina e Harry rincorrono il loro amore, che sembra non avere futuro. Troppo diversi i loro mondi, troppo lontane le loro aspettative: lei, immigrata dalla Sicilia quando era ancora una ragazzina, è tutta concretezza e istinto; lui, rampollo di una facoltosa famiglia con cui ha tagliato i ponti, è un sognatore infervorato dall'utopia comunista.

Monte Carlo, 1982. The odds of a man like Marco de Noli falling for a girl like me were a million to one. He's old money, a classic European jet set, a master of the universe. When we met, I was a shy girl from Oklahoma, pretty enough but nowhere near his league. One year later, after he stands me up on our first anniversary, I have to face facts. Our marriage was a mistake. My in-laws think I'm a gold digger, Marco lives at the office, and nights of passion aren't enough. There's nothing keeping me in Monte Carlo.

The long, hot summer bakes the sleepy, Southern town of Orchard Hill. Billy Ray Davenport, an aspiring physician and only son of an indomitable traveling minister, is a young man with a plan that starts with working in a small-town doctor’s office before he begins medical school in the fall. But he never bargained for Lizzie Quinlan—a complex, kindred spirit who is beautiful and compassionate, yet scorned by the townsfolk. With her quirky wisdom and a spine of steel hidden beneath an effortless sensuality, Lizzie is about to change Billy Ray’s life—and his heart—forever.

Story
Violeta nasce in una notte tempestosa del 1920, prima femmina dopo cinque turbolenti maschi. Fin dal principio la sua vita è segnata da avvenimenti straordinari, con l’eco della Grande guerra ancora forte e il virus dell’influenza spagnola che sbarca sulle coste del Cile quasi nel momento esatto della sua nascita. Grazie alla previdenza del padre, la famiglia esce indenne da questa crisi solo per affrontarne un’altra quando la Grande depressione compromette l’elegante stile di vita urbano che Violeta aveva conosciuto fino ad allora.
