Another great read by Susan Wilson. It was interesting to read the different sides of the story told by the various POV, and it was done well so it was not confusing to skip to the various characters. I only wish more time had been spent on the present day relationships.

This book was great. Kind of reminded me of the Notebook, but with a heartbreaking ending.

I really enjoy this story. A young woman returns to her grandmother's farm after losing her baby. Her husband was sent to England to become a flyer during World War II. He left before she was released from the hospital. Left alone to face the death of her child, she goes back to where she spent her childhood summers. One day a plane disappears from the sky into the cove near her farm. Shortly, a stranger shows up in town. She hires him to rebuild the barn. When she gets word her husband is missing in action, she is drawn to the stranger, and discovers he has a secret.
