Description
In the jubilant aftermath of World War II, a fleeting encounter between Cal Jenkins and Margaret Salt sets two Ohio families on a decades-long course shaped by secrecy, longing, and regret. As Cal’s wife, Becky, draws on an unusual spiritual gift and Margaret awaits news of her husband at sea, a single choice creates bonds that endure through the postwar boom and into the lives of the next generation. Sweeping across the twentieth century while remaining intimate in its emotional detail, this richly layered novel explores love, loyalty, sacrifice, guilt, and the difficult possibility of forgiveness.
