Not since the love of her life, Pierce McGovern, left her years ago without a word. Now, she leads a quiet life surrounded by her four matchmaking sisters, running a historic movie theater and collecting old wartime letters. But she show more leaves the letters unopened, preferring to imagine their possibilities rather than risk being disappointed.
Then Pierce comes back to town, shattering Brenna's hard-earned peace—and forcing her to re-examine everything, and realize that if she doesn't come to terms with the life she let slip away, she may never have the courage to go after the life she wants. show less

I like a book with romance but this book oozed it......it is a cute story and i was actually able to read this in one day.....a lot of us have "the one that got away" in our lives and this story is one of those "fairy tale" stories......some would call it borderline corny but since I dont normally read romance books, I quite liked it
I loved her book On Folly Beach.
I guess maybe my expectations were too high going into this one.
The lead character Brenna was a bit irritating at times and the mystery in the book seemed pretty obvious.
Oh well, I've got another of hers on my To Be Read pile.
