Let the sea glass tell the story…
In 1918, Louisa never expects to fall in love during her summer vacation, but Willie sweeps her off her feet. Their romance is tender and secret, shaped by family pressures and cut short by World War I. When Willie is sent overseas, Louisa returns home to nurse wounded soldiers in Baltimore, searching every face for the man she loves—and wondering if she will ever see him again.
In 1969, Ellie’s summer is filled with possibility as she stays with her free-spirited aunt along the Chesapeake Bay. She falls unexpectedly in love with John, but as the Vietnam War looms, the realities of conflict threaten to shatter her hopes when John is called to serve.
Touching sea glass is touching history—each shard a fragment of a life once lived. Found along the shores of the Chesapeake Bay, pieces of blue sea glass connect two women, two eras, and two love stories shaped by war, sacrifice, and the enduring power of the heart.
