    Summary

    1951 - The war has been over for over five years, and Poe Dameron, travel writer and somewhat lost soul, finds himself back where it ended for him — the southern coast of England. There, he meets a beautiful widow with shadows in her past, and the two develop a powerful bond as they heal from their respective trauma:

    Poe's, from the war in Europe, and Rey’s, from the war in her own home.

    As summer storms build off the coast and the tension between them mounts, Rey struggles to open up to the gentle if passionate American who does his best to prove his steadfastness to the quiet young woman through his letters, his actions, and promises he has no intention of ever breaking.
