In the quaint Vermont town of Maplewood, librarian Eleanor Grayson has spent years waiting—for love, for meaning, for something more. When an ancient book falls from the legendary Heart Oak, it brings Lucas Thorne, a man who has waited over two centuries for the promise made by his ancestors to be fulfilled. As storms rage and secrets unfold, Ellie and Lucas must decide whether to embrace a love that spans time or let the waiting end forever. A tender, humorous, and heartfelt tale of patience, choice, and finding home in the most unexpected place.
