Love is Worth Fighting for by Effie Kammenou

Tenacious and determined, high school senior Krystina longs to make her mark as a travel blogger and Instagram influencer. But first, the youngest child in the Andarakis family takes on a quest started by her sisters to solve the mystery behind their grandfather's disappearance decades earlier. Fueled by her yiayiá's unwavering faith that he's still alive, Krystina enlists the help of her childhood friend, Loukas, to try to find him. Though their relationship is contentious, Krystina secretly has a soft spot for Loukas, covertly protecting him from an abusive father.While Loukas strives to prove to Krystina that he is no longer the childish boy that wounded her numerous times, Krystina attempts to sort out her complicated feelings for him. All while facing unprecedented obstacles that challenge her quest for answers and the pursuit of happiness. Will Krystina finally find the answers she's seeking and be honest enough with herself to let Loukas into her heart?

Effie Kammenou is a believer that it is never too late to chase your dreams, follow your heart or change your career. She is proof of that. At one time, long ago, she'd thought that, by her age, she would have had an Oscar in her hand after a successful career as an actor. Instead, she worked in the optical field for 40 years and is the proud mother of two accomplished young women. Her debut novel, Evanthia's Gift, is a women's fiction multigenerational love story and family saga, influenced by her Greek heritage, and the many real life accounts that have been passed down. She continues to pick her father's brain for stories of his family's life in Lesvos, Greece, and their journey to America. Her interview with him was published in a nationally circulated magazine. Evanthia's Gift: Book One in The Gift Saga was a 2016 award finalist in the Readers Favorite Awards in the Women's Fiction category. Waiting for Aegina: Book Two in The Gift Saga is Kammenou's latest release. Effie Kammenou is a first generation Greek-American who lives on Long Island with her husband and two daughters. When she's not writing, or posting recipes on her food blog, cheffieskitchen.wordpress.com, you can find her cooking for her family and friends. As an avid cook and baker, a skill she learned from watching her Athenian mother, she incorporated traditional Greek family recipes throughout the books. She holds a Bachelor's Degree in Theater Arts from Hofstra University.
