About this audiobook
She reported from war zones. She filed dispatches from the rubble of earthquakes and the edges of civil wars. For twenty years, Nora Callahan convinced herself that running toward danger was the same as being brave.
Then a phone call from a small Maine hospital drags her back to Herring Point — the coastal town she fled at eighteen, the mother she stopped speaking to, and the life she buried so deep she almost forgot it existed.
In her mother's closet, Nora finds a shoebox that changes everything: dozens of love letters she wrote to Liam Connolly, her high school sweetheart. Letters she mailed. Letters she thought were lost. Letters her mother intercepted and hid for two decades.
Liam never left. He became the harbormaster, lost his wife to cancer, and is raising a teenage daughter alone. He never knew why Nora stopped writing. He only knew she never came back.
Now she has. And the harbor remembers everything.
