Publisher's Synopsis
They say it only takes a moment to fall in love with someone, but a lifetime to forget them!
From the author of Evergreen and Between Your Heart and Mine comes a stirring story that proves it is never too late for love.
This heartrending read tells a once-in-a-lifetime tale about love: In small-town Tennessee, eighteen-year-old Charlie Ross wagers a kiss from Anna Cochran, the prettiest girl in town, and wins. But before their burgeoning romance can take flight, Charlie is drafted to fight in the Vietnam War.
Anna promises she'll wait for him, no matter how long it takes. But when Charlie is taken prisoner, and later presumed dead, Anna is left to pick up the pieces of her shattered world.
Eight years later, Charlie comes home. But his triumphant return is short-lived when he discovers the love of his life has moved on and is married to the man who left him for dead in the jungle.
Unable to let her go, Charlie will stop at nothing to win Anna back. But is this the end of their story, or is there one final chapter yet to be written?
