In the summer of 1963, in the quiet town of Millwood, Georgia, Edith Abbott and Walter Greene find love in the simplest moments-morning pastries, shared dreams, and fleeting glances. Edith, the bright and lively heart of her family's bakery, and Walter, a shy and introspective painter, are drawn together despite their differences. As they build a life together, their love stands strong through the years, until tragedy strikes. When Edith falls ill, Walter desperately tries to preserve her memory through his art, only to find time slowly stealing the details of her face. A poignant tale of love, loss, and the struggle to hold onto the past, this story lingers like a fading painting-beautiful, heartbreaking, and unforgettable.
