|---|
"After the breakup of his marriage, a man returns to the US & ends up renting a special house that was built two centuries before. He finds a set of very old journals written by the woman who lived in the house then. Through the journals, he begins to heal from the trauma of his loss & see's that the best may be yet to come, instead of behind him as he thought. This book is actually two stories in two very different times but is interlinked to show that love is timeless."
Kim Mills, Resident Scholar
