Ten years ago he killed my son. Today I married him. Ten years ago my darling son Jesse was murdered and our perfect family was destroyed. My strong, handsome boy, so full of life, became a memory, a photo I carried with me everywhere. But today I’m finally close to finding happiness again. My ash-blonde hair has been curled into ringlets. Carefully placed white flowers frame my delicate features. The small, drab chapel has been prettied up with white satin, and there are tiny red hearts scattered on the small table where I will soon sign the register with my new husband.

Di Canzio follows their story past the end of Maurice to the front lines of battle in World War I and beyond. Forster, who tried to write an epilogue about the future of his characters, was stymied by the radical change that the Great War brought to their world. With the hindsight of a century, di Canzio imagines a future for them and a past for Alec—a young villager possessed of remarkable passion and self-knowledge.

Publisher's summary
Two little boys began their friendship not knowing that they would endure two World Wars, with misgivings on their behaviors, but most of all, the love of one woman.
The little village of Brough Bridge is the starting point to this love story that will make you smile, cry, and question the characters.
You decide: If that same situation came your way, would you react the same? If the answer is “yes”, then judgement can’t be a tool for you to use. Listen to this fascinating book about two best friends Dickie Taylor and Thomas Yuan and their lives as they grow up having an idyllic childhood. See how things change as they endure the horrors of two World Wars and the devastation that brings.
I challenge you not to be touched by this story.
