She expects to earn an education and dreams of impacting the lives of women worldwide. Will her new opportunities create opposition? Will she overcome her losses and pursue her mission? Inspired by a true story, this first novel in the series retraces Gabrielle's journey as she navigates the bittersweet waters of leaving behind her first love, Benji, and the cruel truth thrust upon her in Germany.
