OrangeReviewStarIn Edwardian England, childhood friends Maggie Lounsbury and Nate Harcourt are abruptly separated after Maggie's parents drown in a boating accident. Maggie and her sister are sent away to live with a distant relative, and Nate joins the Royal Navy. When his father dies, Nate returns to run his family estate and discovers Maggie working at her grandmother's hat shop. The two friends have much hurt and anger to resolve before their friendship, let alone love, can flourish.

Its heartwarming and hopeful story arc, gentle prose, and charming characters will attract new readers to Turansky's growing legion of fans.
