In her twenties, Emma Blair marries her high school sweetheart, Jesse. They build a life for themselves, far away from the expectations of their parents and the people of their hometown in Massachusetts. They travel the world together—Emma as a freelance writer, Jesse as a production assistant on nature documentaries—living life to the fullest and seizing every opportunity for adventure. On their first wedding anniversary, Jesse is on an assignment in the Aleutian Islands when his helicopter goes missing over the Pacific. Just like that, Jesse is gone forever. Emma quits her job and moves home in an effort to put her life back together. Years later, now in her thirties, Emma runs into an old friend, Sam, and finds herself falling in love again. When Emma and Sam get engaged it feels like Emma's second chance at happiness. That is, until Jesse is found. He's alive, and he's been trying to come home to her all these years. Emma now has a husband and a fiancé, but who is her one true love? And what does it mean to love truly? Emma knows she has to listen to her heart. She's just not sure what it's saying.
