Sit down, Gabe, and whatever you do, don’t raise your voice. I have looked over all the information in your grandfather’s will and it is ironclad.
So you are saying in the 21st century a person can make their heir marry and remain married for one whole year before receiving their inheritance? How ludicrous is that? This is not the 1800s for crying out loud. Calm down Gabe, I need to meet with Miss Van Buren. We will talk more after that.
Miss Van Buren, I am very sorry. This is not the kind of news I like to give. I realize it is a shock. Out in the lobby, Gabe heard her sobs, and it tugged at his heart. Sounds like we both got screwed today. Can I give you a lift? She felt exhausted and needed a friendly shoulder to cry on. I would like that, Gabe.
This modern-day couple is thrown together in unusual circumstances and as a result, agree to marry. A hundred and twenty-one years earlier another couple marry in extenuating circumstances.
While cleaning out the spare room in their tiny bungalow, they find a box of unopened old letters written by Gabe’s great Aunt Hailey, to her sister, Tilly. Reading the letters, they are given a window into her world. What caused Hailey and Asher to be found in extenuating circumstances, forcing them to marry. Hailey’s letters are filled with pain, and loneliness and yet there is joy along the way. Will Hailey find love and happiness with her husband Asher or is that too much to hope for? Will Gabe and Mckenna be able to form a lifelong love or will life’s twists and turns, tear them apart?
