      Amiens, Francia, 1916. Una donna attende fuori dalla cattedrale, ignara della pioggia. Tra i fedeli c'è il capitano Julian Ashford, l'uomo per cui ha sacrificato tutto, ma che non rivedrà mai più; tornerà in trincea e morirà. Tuttavia, Kate è lì per riscrivere il loro destino. New York, oggi. Una donna attende davanti alla porta di Julian Laurence, nonostante sia la vigilia di Natale. Deve consegnargli documenti urgenti. Si sono conosciuti il giorno prima, ma quando entra, lui la accoglie come se l'aspettasse da sempre, come se l'amasse da sempre. Ricambiare quell'amore è facile: Julian è uno degli uomini più ricchi e affascinanti di Manhattan, romantico e intenso. Per qualche mese, la vita sembra un sogno. Ma poi appare un libro: la biografia di Julian Ashford, ricca di foto e lettere del poeta-soldato della prima guerra mondiale. La calligrafia, gli occhi gentili e il volto sotto il berretto sono del suo Julian. Quel libro cambierà il loro destino. In un vortice di sentimenti, misteri, speranze e passione, si narra la storia di un amore vero, unico ed eterno.

Fresh from college, irrepressible Vivian Schuyler defies her wealthy Fifth Avenue family to work at cutthroat Metropolitan magazine.
