Overview

When Ava Sharpe and Sara Lance first met at Camp Ogawa as thirteen-year-olds, one stolen kiss by the river changed them forever. But summer ended, letters went unanswered, and life moved on—or so they thought.

Twenty years later, Ava is a brilliant but reserved doctor, and Sara is a passionate Chicago police officer with a habit of guarding her heart. When fate reunites them at the vineyard wedding of their best friends, neither expects to see her again—the girl who became a memory, a myth, a folded note kept in a pocket far too long.

What begins as an awkward reconnection blossoms into something deeper as the two navigate meddling friends, a near-tragic accident, long-distance love, and a lifetime of walls built to keep the past out. But the truth has a funny way of finding its way back—especially when it’s written on a wrinkled piece of notebook paper and sealed with a promise made under starlight.

Now, with a campfire flickering behind them and forever stretching ahead, Ava and Sara must decide: can you really find your way back to the one who first taught you how to love?
