8 SentencesThe sound of a soft thud against her bedroom window woke Maggie. She dismissed it the first time. After several repetitive noises she tossed the covers back and walked to the big window to see what the cause of the annoying sound was. When she looked out the glass and down to the ground she saw William, illuminated by the moonlight, just below her bedroom window. A giggle of sheer joy escaped her lips, but she quickly silenced herself.
He’d come for her. William was there to rescue her and take her away from her mother, from her family, from everything that was binding her to that life and all the guilt, the doubts, the fears, the responsibility and the obligation that went along with it. Relief and love filled her.
Blurb
Two generations. Two love stories intertwined…
What if a piece of furniture could change your life? Antique store owner Samantha Phillips embarks on a quest to find the answer to that question after she stumbles upon a beautiful, weathered wooden trunk. Samantha immediately falls in love with the antiquity when the old, battered wardrobe ends up in her possession. Lodged inside the lining of the footlocker is a stack of old love letters and a gold locket that holds a picture of a handsome young man.
Curiosity gets the better of Samantha and she reads the passionate correspondence one by one, and learns about the love between working class William Hayes and high-society Maggie Flannery. But when Samantha comes to the end of the letters, it is unclear whether William and Maggie end up together. Driven by a force she can’t fully explain, Samantha contacts the former owner of the trunk, hoping for answers about the young couple.
When she reaches out to Maggie’s great-nephew, Bryan Donovan, he is reluctant to share his aunt’s past with a stranger, at least at first. Together, Bryan and Samantha learn the love story of William and Maggie, while discovering their own feelings for each other. Set in historic St. Charles, Missouri, the story of two star-crossed lovers from the 1920s unfolds through a series of letters and an old diary.
