SUMMARY
Joseph and Evelyn’s New England beach homes have been side by side for generations. And in the summer of 1941, on the shores where they were raised, these two childhood friends fell in love. Now, more than sixty years later and after a lifetime together, Joseph and Evelyn gather their three grown children to share tragic news: she is fatally ill, and he cannot live without her. So, in one year, they will end their lives. As they come to grips with their fate, they embark on a journey to create new memories, to retrace their past—the joys and regrets, the laughter and the sorrow—and to make peace with the legacy they will leave behind.
