Buckton, Indiana, 1956. As post-war America brims with
new opportunities, a young woman discovers the courage to
follow her dreams-and her heart . . .
Gwendolyn Foster's life seems like a dream come true. A
bright future in front of her, the successful, traditional
man her parents wanted at her side. What more could a girl
ask for? But Gwen has a different dream altogether-to be a
writer-and she won't rest until it comes true. Strong arms
to support her, not own her . . . that's what she needs. And
she finds them in the most unexpected of places.
Hank Ellis has long been haunted by his little brother's
death. He knows the entire town blames him for the accident,
but it's only fitting. He blames himself too. So he's
shocked when Gwen ignores the vicious gossip and befriends
him. And before long, everything changes for them. Folks
warn Gwen about Hank, but she knows in her heart that
they're wrong. Drawn to this man of bravery and kindness who
encourages her to pursue her passions, Gwen can finally
envision the life she's always wanted. And with Gwen, Hank
finds the strength to let go of his guilt, as he dares to
hope for a future with her.
But braving the town that turns against them isn't the only
challenge they face. For Hank still harbors a dark secret, a
shocking truth that may force him to lose Gwen forever . . .
