When sixteen-year-old Eli Webster finds a message tucked inside a glass bottle, he doesn't expect to find himself writing letters to the mysterious Samuel Owens.

With no one named Samuel living nearby, Eli fears it all to be a practical joke at his expense. Yet he finds himself drawn to the words written by a stranger. With each letter, his curiosity grows and with it so do new feelings.

Although he longs for a friend, Eli finds himself wanting something a little more from his new pen pal, but he's not so sure Nicholas wants the same, or even what Samuel wants from him.
