Eighteen-year-old Ruby's life is far from extraordinary, until she discovers a box of love letters hidden away by her late grandmother. The letters recount a tragic romance from nearly twenty years prior, revealing a secret that was kept buried for decades. As Ruby unravels the story, she finds herself falling for a new fisherman in town, and realizes that her own heart echoes the long-ago love she read about in the letters.
