One town. Two families. A secret that changes everything. This captivating story weaves the intimate lives of two midwestern families across generations, from World War II to the late twentieth century. In Bonhomie, Ohio, a stolen moment of passion, ignited by the exuberance following the Allied victory in Europe, connects Cal Jenkins, a man wounded by his inability to serve in the war, to Margaret Salt, who is trying to hide her past. Cal’s wife, Becky, possesses a spiritual gift as a seer, helping families connect with lost loved ones. Meanwhile, Margaret’s husband, Felix, is serving on a Navy cargo ship—until a telegram brings devastating news. As the country rebuilds during the postwar boom, a secret grows in Bonhomie, reminding us that nothing stays buried forever in a small town. The consequences of that long-ago encounter ripple through the next generation, compelling both families to reexamine their identities and futures. Sweeping yet intimate, rich with keen observation and warmth, the narrative captures the universal longing for love and goodness, highlighting the profound understanding of the human spirit.
