How long can love endure? Walt Kinkade left for acting school with a promise to love Linda forever. She never heard from him again. Thirty-five years later and a famed actor at a crossroads in his career, he's back in Huckleberry Falls, hoping to heal and make amends. Though a widow now, he learns that Linda moved on long ago and found love again. Walt never did. Seeing Linda makes him want to do more than be friends, but why would she trust a man who ditched her and disappeared without a word? Linda Jackson has everything she needs-great children and grandchildren who light up her life, and wonderful memories of over three decades with her late husband. But an old photograph of the lost love of her youth keeps popping up, reminding her of a time which nearly destroyed her. Then the man himself shows up as a guest at her married daughter's home. Seeing Walt and learning the truth stirs something in Linda that she thought she'd never feel again. Does she dare give him a chance to break her heart a second time?
