What is the secret to life-long love? Why do some marriages stand the test of time while others fail? In 2014 in the wake of her dad's death, historian Jennifer Lansbury discovered a cache of letters written by her parents over half a century earlier when her father, compliments of the U.S. Marine Corps, was separated time and again from his "dearest, darling wife" and young children. In reading through them, she discovered that the foundation of her parents' beautiful 58-year marriage was in this pile of letters, and came to see her mother and father in a totally new way, as a young couple separate from who they were as her parents. Enter their world as she uses their letters, coupled with memory of her growing up, to tell the story of her parents and their love, her family, and the separations they endured against the backdrop of the times in which they lived. Journey with them-from their North Carolina beginnings during the Great Depression and World War II; through her father's brutal experience of the Korean War; to the island of Okinawa, rocky clime of Argentia, Newfoundland, and Marine bases of the South during the burgeoning 1950s and turbulent 1960s-as Becky and George use sixteen years of love letters to hold together a relationship and family torn apart by war and devotion to military service.¿
