'I love Rogers' writing in that he really "takes you there" with the intensity of his writing. Grab your tissues because you're going to need them.'

Kate Newhouse is a struggling young actress with a terrible secret. Ballard is a war weary young Marine escorting his best friends body home from Vietnam. On an overnight flight across the Pacific two people with seemingly nothing in common are drawn to one another.

They spend a special time together on Malibu beach and despite their differences they find themselves falling in love. Their love defies the realities of their different lives yet Kate's terrible secret is always in the back of her mind. Her secret explodes when Tom must return to Vietnam. It drives them apart before either could deal with their new found feelings.

Twenty years later fate again throws them together. Kate is now a famous actress. Tom is a firefighter in his hometown. They have lived completely different lives yet old feelings surface again. Neither can forget the love they had found together so long ago.

Forced to confront painful memories and current realities the former lovers will discover truths about the choices they have made and the people they have become. Will their love be able to overcome the obstacles of so many years and such different lives? Or are their differences too great?

Still more readers agree:

'This is a great story of love and war and loss and maybe even redemption…This story is emotionally gut wrenching from the both the main characters' points of view. Both have been horrifically damaged by past experiences, but we get the joy of seeing them overcome their pain to fall in love all over again.'
