They say time heals all wounds. . . but what if they were wrong?Growing up, Emily Hart never had it easy. After losing her mother at a young age, she and her sister move in with their grandmother-whose eccentric ideas have earned her a questionable reputation within the slow-moving town of Windhaven, West Virginia.Now an adult, Emily's found herself in sunny San Diego-married and eager for greener pastures. Except the grass here is made of sand, and the man she married, isn't the man she thought she knew. When Emily's grandmother passes away, she leaves behind her beloved farmhouse. Desperate to escape her abusive marriage, Emily flees back to Windhaven-back to the home she once left behind.Nestled in the foothills of the Appalachian Mountains, the Magnolia House has stood for generations. Her grandmother always insisted it was filled with magic, but Emily only sees a crumbling house in desperate need of repairs. Still, with nowhere else to go, she settles in-determined to start over.Shortly after moving in, Emily discovers a long-forgotten satchel filled with old letters. Realizing they're from a Civil War soldier to his long-lost wife, Emily writes back-if only because she's lonely and a little drunk, and what's the harm in it anyway?It's only the next morning, when Emily wakes to find that her letter is gone-and a new one is in its place, does she begin to discover what sort of magic lingers within the threadbare walls of her family's estate. Now, everything she thought she knew about love and loss will be dragged to the forefront-forcing her to confront her past while still trying to heal from the life she left behind. Somewhere Without You explores the long road to healing, the enduring pull of first love, and the possibility that sometimes, the past finds us for a reason.
