The Promise

 
In 2023, journalist Alma Parsehyan flies from Buenos Aires to her ancestral Armenia to salvage a marriage already fractured by her toddler’s death.

Her surgeon husband, Sherry, has enlisted at the Nagorno-Karabakh frontline while the enclave’s blockade tightens by the hour. At Jerusalem’s Western Wall Alma slips a note—“bring him back”—but leaves the price of that miracle unwritten. Covering the siege, she teams up with Garo, a daring architect who smuggles medicine past checkpoints and awakens a life she never imagined. As war creeps toward their village and Sherry’s fate remains unknown, Alma must decide which promise—old or new—will define her future. A sweeping story of grief, faith and self-renewal set against a conflict the world too easily forgets.
