This story really clutches at the heart and hangs on. Even after I finished I kept thinking about Alex and Lily and all they had gone through. The story starts in the sixties during the Vietnam war. Alex Cabot is a helicopter pilot who crashes in Vietnam and is taken prisoner. He survives his six years of incarceration by hanging on to his love for his young sweetheart, Lily. Lily is left alone and pregnant in an era when this was unacceptable. She does what she must to protect her beloved daughter and carries on her life believing that Alex is dead. When he finally returns home, he thinks she betrayed him and married another man. Twenty years later, Alex and Lily are reintroduced at a time when everything is changing for Lily. As they discover they still love each other, the lies and deceit that protected Lily and her daughter start to unravel and many painful truths come out that test both of them. Life will never be the same again, and many characters have to face mistakes they made in the past and move on. But be assured it all has a beautiful happy ending that will leave you smiling and even bring a tear to your eye. If you love emotional and moving romance and family drama, you'll love this book!
