About this audiobook
What survives inside the walls is always what we were too afraid to send.
Some buildings hold more than steel and brick. Some hold everything a heart couldn’t say out loud.
When structural engineer Marcus Webb pulls a roll of ribbon-bound letters from behind a Detroit factory wall, he expects an inconvenience. What he finds instead is a sixty-year-old love story — urgent, tender, and buried alive — that refuses to stay hidden.
Evelyn Marsh was twenty-two when she loved a man the world said she wasn’t allowed to love. Now she’s eighty-two, armed with a landmark petition and a lifetime of quiet courage, and she wants the truth back. Preservation historian Petra Sousa has built her career defending what others are too eager to tear down. And Marcus, a man who has made peace with endings, is about to discover that some walls are worth saving.
