In my twenties, I flew to Alaska determined to change the world. I returned home devastated, filled with fear and the kind of heartache it takes years to overcome. Now, sixteen years later, as I hurl through the sky on the wings of heartbreak and despair, I’m desperately trying to hold myself together. Not just because of why I’m flying back, but because I know he’ll be waiting. John Jennings—the man who made me realize I could fly without my feet ever leaving the ground. The promise I returned to keep will change our lives irrevocably. We’ve been separated for years by more than air; there’s a secret that stands between us. Only the time has come to reveal it.

I never expected my life to take the turn it did. I planned to raise my children surrounded by family and love. But plans, and people, change. As I began to pick up the pieces of my life, I found myself confronted with a wealth of memories tucked away inside me I’d long buried. Especially when I came face-to-face with the ones of Kody Laurence from summers long ago. When we land together thousands of miles away from where we first met, can we return to the friendship we once had? Or is it our time for something more?
