"Will you marry me?" he asks one night in 1996. For 35-year-old Anitra Leigh Cole, successful entrepreneur, it’s the question she’d been dying to hear. Why, then, does the night go so terribly wrong? Why does a newly discovered letter, written in 1974, make her physically ill? And what does it all have to do with a secret that, in 1927, two children vowed to keep? With the help of her best friend, Carrie Morgan, Anitra must face an agonizing revelation. As her deeply buried memories of 1974 leap back to life, she learns that the truth lies in old boxes and in time.
