Together, they will endeavor to unite a people in this divided country.
And the Iron Curtain in '91...
Yet the Green Line remains, cutting through the heart of Nicosia--the capital city of Cyprus--serving as a reminder of a frozen conflict. When Nora Johansson is invited to tend an artist's gallery in a Cypriot village, she embarks on an adventure to the Mediterranean, where she finds romance with a handsome, easygoing man, who shows her charms of sunny Cyprus, along with its turbulent history--a history that's still in the making, where citizens struggle for a national identity. Â
Nora's adventure is interrupted when she receives urgent news from her terminally ill father. She returns to the United States to discover that her mother, who died giving birth, had a younger sister who may still live in Cyprus. Nora goes back to Cyprus and initiates a search for her lost aunt, but soon she must choose between continuing the investigation or following her dream of becoming a diplomat.
