Summary

Can a stack of long-hidden love letters from a WWII war hero inspire a heartbroken woman to love again?

Reeling from a bitter divorce, Adrienne Carter abandons Chicago and retreats to the sun, sand, and beauty of Southern Florida, throwing herself into the restoration of a dilapidated old Victorian beach house. Early into the renovations, she discovers a tin box hidden away in the attic that reveals the emotional letters from a WWII paratrooper to a young woman who lived in the house more than a half-century earlier.

The old letters - incredibly poetic and romantic - transcend time, and they arouse in Adrienne a curiosity that leads her to track down the writer of the letters. William "Pops" Bryant is now an old man living in a nearby town with his handsome but overprotective grandson, Will. As Adrienne begins to unravel the secrets of the letters (and the Bryants), she finds herself not yet willing to give up entirely on love.

A love story of generations

This was a comfortable listen. However I didn’t like the character of Will who constantly came across as a spoilt jealous man who always wanted his own way. The story itself was a good listen and well performed.

Endearing

This isn't my normal type of read but I thoroughly enjoyed it even though there are mixed reviews on Goodreads.
I thought the relationship between Pops and Sarah was so endearing.

Repetitive but good storyline

I found this book gripping but overly descriptive. Sometimes I found myself rolling my eyes at the same words being used over and over.

True romance story

This book is a charming love story laced with history. I read many reviews that give away the story line. All I'm going to say is this story has twists and turns. It both happy and sad in parts and it takes you on an emotional journey of two separate couple separated by a generation.
