During the Summer of 1967, sixteen-year-old Emily Hudson falls in love for the first time with Jimmy Moran just before he enlists in the Marine Corps and heads off to war. When he returns, both Emily and Jimmy have changed, and they go their separate ways. Now, thirty years later, Emily can't stop thinking about Jimmy and wonders "what if?" Her question is answered when she finds him online. Although they are both married to other people, Emily and Jimmy meet again in Washington, DC, visiting the Vietnam War Memorial together and revisiting their lost love, ultimately having to decide if they deserve a second chance. Told in the alternating voices of Jimmy and Emily, this tender story explores misunderstanding and reconciliation in thought-provoking and poignant ways. "A tender evocation of lost love, and what it means to find it again." (Kirkus Reviews) "Sharp-eyed and] impeccably detailed." (Marie Claire) "A sweet response to one of life's constant what-if questions." (Booklist, starred review)
