tortured, and executed in cold blood.Nicholas Gage joined his father
in Massachusetts at the age of nine and grew up to become a top New
York Times investigative reporter, honing his skills with one thought
in mind: to return to Greece and uncover the one story he cared about
most: the story of his mother.Eleni takes you into the heart a
village destroyed in the name of ideals and into the soul of a truly
heroic woman.
