Summer in Greece

Summer has lived a secluded life for the past 20 years, focusing on her career as a veterinarian and trying to forget the past. Every year, she escapes for a few weeks to picturesque Greek islands, immersing herself in photography and wreck diving. When the junk room in her clifftop cottage was cleared to accommodate a caregiver for her father, Summer came across the belongings of her great-grandmother, Gertie Smith. She found a nurse's uniform from the First World War, a soldier's blanket, and a recording of Gertie's diary. As Summer listens, she learns about her great-grandmother's secret life and may find the strength to let go of her tragic past. 1916 When 18-year-old nurse Gertie Smith joined the war effort, she was thrilled to learn her destination would be Greece. With her head full of blue skies and handsome men, she boarded the Titanic's sister ship, the hospital ship Britannic. Unprepared for the horrors of war, she heads to the Greek island of Lemnos on a mission to rescue 3,000 wounded British soldiers. The Britannic never reaches her destination. Gertie, who disobeyed her orders, blames herself. She is sent to the Greek island of Kea, where she meets and falls in love with a Greek fisherman named Mano—but she finds herself torn between him and her duty to an English soldier, and her past soon catches up with her.
