Amelia Albermarle awakens on her eightieth birthday to heavy snowfall and an unsettling dream from her past. Trapped in her home, she allows herself to revisit the memories of a forbidden love for a boy with whom she shared everything but the color of his skin.One hundred miles away, widower Robert Dawes discovers a sixty-year old letter hidden on his converted 1930's trawler. His search to find its intended recipient leads him to Amelia's door and the details of a love story which took place at the height of WWII.Robert is suffering from a broken leg and a broken heart. Whether by coincidence or Providence, the letter provides the spark he needs to jump-start his life. He sets off to deliver it not knowing if the woman to whom it's addressed is still even living. The search uncovers a moving story of love, bigotry, and a lie still alive after more than six decades. It also unites four people haunted by their pasts, renewing their hope for the future.
