Lillian Cage is happily watching as her life passes before her; planning a wedding, making a name for herself in the world of antiques and being content with the path she has chosen.

But another day turns into a lifetime of love left behind, an attic full of tear-stained letters and a heart-wrenching struggle of a woman torn between her husband and the one who walked away with her soul.
