'Amelia lives through three difficult and hot summers in a small Middle Eastern city, when she is 10, 20 and 40. Her journey is interwoven through time as she encounters the challenges that each of these summers bring. Three Summers of Fortitude is also the story of a family, set against the harsh reality of the environment they share. Hopes and values differ within the city's population, and Amelia is forced to deal with those differences. Consequences resurface throughout her life, culminating in a pathway that leads her back to be with the boy she loved as a child.' (Publication summary)
