When 24-year old Ivy Carter moves into her late grandmother's forgotten lakeside cottage for the summer, she expects nothing more than peeling wallpaper, quiet mornings, and time to think. Instead, she finds a box of letters hidden beneath the floorboards, love letters written to her grandmother by a man who isn't her grandfather.
The deeper Ivy dives into the secret romance that changed her grandmother's life, the more unsettling the parallels become with her own tangled heart.
She's been with Etham, her steady and reliable boyfriend, for five years, but when she meets Luca, the passionate stranger restoring the cottage next door, the letters start to feel less like history and more like a warning.
Some choices echo for generations.
And Ivy must decide whether to repeat the past...or rewrite it.
Ivy Carter - A reflective, cautious soul still figuring out who she is. Torn between security and passion.
Ethan Miller - Her long-term boyfriend, patient and loyal but increasingly distant.
Luca Reyes - A charming, spontaneous carpenter who challenges Ivy's view of love.
Margaret Carter - Ivy's grandmother, whose hidden love story mirrors Ivy's own in unexpected ways.
