It's 1950. Two young people, very much in love with each other, are both married to someone else. Their letters to each other during the three years they had to wait until they were able to marry each other tell a tender love story. Later letters to friends and family, and to each other when they had to be apart, describe the home they bought, furnished and tended; their professional careers and travels throughout the world; their vocations and avocations; and finally their reitrement and life in the first decade of the 21st century.
