For generations, the Barthélemy family tended to the olive trees of Restanques, a sprawling property in Cotignac whose olive oil and almonds were as incredible as the countryside that produced them. But all that changed when war came to France. Robert Barthélemy never returned from the trenches, and without him the farm is beginning to die. His widow has lost the will to live, and only the fierce efforts of their daughter, Jeanne, have kept the creditors at bay.

Anne and Alexis grow up together in the Montmartre area of Paris. While she is utterly besotted with him, he sees her merely as a friend's little sister. After World War II begins, the two must part when their families flee France to avoid the German occupation. But when they say good-bye, Alexis vows always to protect Anne.
