What will happen when JoAnn believes that Caleb has her husband Errol [who had died] heart? This was a beautiful read of how one can find love at any age. I loved how this author was able to put these two together and in the end giving the reader a good HEA.

This author really gives the reader '48 years of letters before returning to the present day narrative.' This was beautifully done! These are really some good letters. These two hadn't seen each other since Oliver was sixteen when he lived in London. Oliver's wife had been dead over 10 years and he now wanted to be able 'to live again.' Would seeing Connie finally do this for him? This was indeed another good read that you will have to pick up and see how it all comes out.
