From the #1 New York Times bestselling author of The Notebook and A Walk to

Remember, an emotionally poignant novel about the enduring legacy of first love–and

the decisions that haunt us forever.

Sent away at sixteen, Maggie Dawes could think only of the friends and family she left

behind . . . until she met Bryce Trickett. Bryce showed her how much there was to love

about the wind-swept beach town and introduced her to photography, a passion that

would define the rest of her life.

By 2019, Maggie is a renowned travel photographer. Unexpectedly grounded over

Christmas and struggling to come to terms with a medical diagnosis, she finds herself

becoming dependent on her young assistant.

As they count down the last days of the season together, she tells him the story of

another Christmas, decades earlier—and the love that set her on a course she never

could have imagined.
