He thinks she's an elderly widow. She's convinced he's a grumpy old
man. Neither could be further from the truth.
After a short and difficult marriage, recently widowed Edith Sherman has
learned her lesson. Forget love. Forget marriage. She plans to fill her
thirties with adventure. As she awaits the final paperwork for a
humanitarian trip to South Africa, she accepts a short-term nursing
position in a small Midwestern town. The last thing she needs is a
handsome local catching her eye. How inconvenient is that?
Henry Hobbes isn't exactly thrilled to have Edith, who he assumes is an
elderly widow, dumped on him as a houseguest for the summer. But he'd do
almost anything for his niece, who is practically like a sister to him
given how close they are in age. Especially since Edith will be working
nights and Henry works most days. When he and Edith keep missing each
other in person, they begin exchanging notes--short messages at first,
then longer letters, sharing increasingly personal parts of their
lives.
By the time Henry realizes his mistake--that Edith is actually the
brown-eyed beauty he keeps bumping into around town--their hearts are so
intertwined he hopes they never unravel. But with her departure date
rapidly approaching, and Henry's roots firmly planted at home, Edith
must ultimately decide if the adventure of her dreams is the one right
in front of her.
Reminiscent of the beloved classic You've Got Mail comes a
delightful new romantic comedy about mistaken identities, second
chances, and finding love in unexpected places.
