‘Everyone wanted to believe that endless love was possible. She'd believed in it once, too, back when she was eighteen.’
In the spring of 1984, high school students Amanda Collier and Dawson Cole fell deeply, irrevocably in love. Though they were from opposite sides of the tracks, their love for one another seemed to defy the realities of life in small town North Carolina.
They were teenagers, with a passion that would change their lives for ever. But life would force them apart.
Years later, the lines they had drawn between past and present are about to slip. Called back to their hometown for the funeral of the mentor who once gave them shelter when they needed it most, they are faced with each other once again, and forced to confront the paths they chose.
In the course of a single, searing weekend, they will ask of the living, and the dead: Can true love ever rewrite the past?
