When Ellie searches the archives of the newspaper she works for, looking for an interesting story, she is sure she won't discover anything sensational. Yet, she finds a letter from 1960, in which a man asks his lover to leave her husband. This becomes the reason for her to delve into this old love story, perhaps because it reminds her of her own personal life… 

In 1960, Jennifer regains consciousness in the hospital after a car accident. She remembers nothing – neither her husband, nor her friends, nor even herself. When she returns home, she discovers a hidden letter and tries to remember and find the lover for whom she was willing to risk everything. 

The stories of passion, forbidden love, and loss of these two women, Ellie and Jennifer, are intertwined in a deeply emotional and touching novel.
