On the day George was born in 1897, no one knew of the true hero he would become.

With the death of a loved one on an ill-fated ocean-liner, to losing his mother to a horrible addiction, and war tearing his world apart—each harsh tragedy will help mold him into the man he is destined to become.

Yet this journey is not one he will face alone. With his best friend by his side, the pair will embark on adventures that will cross continents and cut through the stifling smoke of war.

Battling through agonizing losses and gut-wrenching guilt, can George find the happiness that has always evaded him? Or will his gift to the world be his sacrifice?

Tears of the Poppies is the highly anticipated prequel of the Forever Love trilogy and sets the story for the critically acclaimed novel, Under the Sycamore Tree.
