Cory and Emma happened to meet at a church social picnic by Chancel's Creek - a creek that weaves throughout the letters and the farmlands. Cory and Emma continue to see each other when Cory's father stops by Emma's Dad's farm to buy muscadine grapes at their family store. When Cory and Emma go off to College, he continues to write to her. Emma's sister, Lila, marries a man who tries to get rid of the muscadine vines and take over their farm.

So Gus joins the armed services and goes to War forcing Cory to come home from College to check on the farm. When Cory arrives, he gets into a fight with the hired man and Emma's brother in law who has concocted a "scheme" involving the muscadine wine. As Justin goes about the business of re-renting the old farmhouse, he delves deeper into his Grandmother's past by reading the letters and makes a starling discovery. In the letters, Justin discovers the truth about his Grandmother's first love, his own heritage and learns something about himself in the process.
