  • "Janie Hamilton is a widow at age twenty-nine, having lost her husband in Afghanistan. Mired in grief, she's unable to move on until she comes across hidden love notes in a box of books purchased from the store Folly's Finds. Intrigued by what appears to be a clandestine love affair from the 1940s, Janie is prompted to move to Folly Beach, South Carolina, where she purchases the local bookstore."@en
  • "To most people, Folly Beach is simply the last barrier island before reaching the great Atlantic. To some, it's a sanctuary for lost souls, which is why Janie Hamilton's mother encourages her to buy the local bookstore, Folly's Finds, hoping it will distract Janie from the loss of her husband. Janie is at first resistant. So much has already changed. But after finding love letters and an image of a beautiful bottle tree in a box of used books from Folly's Finds, she decides to take the plunge. But the seller insists on one condition: Janie must allow Lulu, the late owner's sister, to continue selling her bottle trees from the store's backyard. For the most part Janie ignores Lulu, and sifts through the love letters. But the more she discovers about the letters, the more she understands Lulu. As details of a possible murder and a mysterious disappearance during World War II are revealed, the two women discover that circumstances beyond their control, sixty years apart, have brought them together, on Folly Beach. And it is here that their war-ravaged hearts can find hope for a second chance."@en
