Long Lost Love

From the New York Times bestselling author of Husbands & Lovers comes this bold and bittersweet story of a decades-long love triangle during an era of profound historical change.

California, 1989. As Rosie arrives at Stanford in the last autumn of the Cold War, the whole world seems to be shifting around her. During those first few months, the watchful and intensely curious Rosie will witness the Loma Prieta earthquake, the fall of the Berlin Wall, and the introduction of a daring new curriculum, and she'll forge relationships with three extraordinary people whose lives are destined to intersect with hers: Luke, the charismatic former child star; Bruno, steadfast scion of a legendary political family; and Morgan, as fiercely loyal as she is ambitious.

But Rosie herself isn’t who she claims to be, and when her past betrays her, she’ll have to find the courage to atone for what she's done and navigate the exile ahead. As the passing decades transform the human experience, Rosie travels the globe as an investigative journalist, crossing paths with Morgan, Bruno and Luke at every turn—until Rosie comes to grips with a shattering choice that will force all four friends to ask who they're meant to love and who they're meant to be.

Winthrop Island, 1969. On the same July night that humans first land on the moon, Lizbit Winthrop stumbles over abeautiful, devastated young man on a darkened beach. Like LIzbit herself, Hugh Fisher stands at a crossroads in his life, and together they make a pact: in one year, they’ll return to this spot and hold each other to their dreams. The next summer, Lizbit and Hugh embark on an epic road trip across America, setting in motion a chain of consequences that will transform the lives of the generations to come.

Spellbinding and beautifully crafted, Long Lost Love draws readers into a journey through the human spirit and a love story like no other. This is storytelling at its finest—a novel both soaring and intimate, yearning and hopeful, culminating in a resolution so unexpected and so moving, you’ll want to read it over again for the first time.
