Ten years ago, Eden and Hudson appeared to have the perfect life, but then, without warning, Hudson disappeared from her world.
As teenagers, Eden and Hudson found refuge on the windswept shores of Holland Island. The Chesapeake Bay cradled their secrets and witnessed the blossoming of their first love, even as the land around them slowly eroded. Their beautiful moments together came to an abrupt end when Hudson left without a word-an unexpected silence that left Eden with a heart full of questions and confusion.
Now a successful lawyer in the bustling city of New York, Eden has made every effort to put her past behind her. But when an unexpected message emerges from someone in her past, she is irresistibly drawn back into the bittersweet memories of Hudson, who now feels like a distant stranger. As she embarks on a journey to find him, Eden confronts buried wounds and long-forgotten feelings, all while coming face-to-face with who she once was and what the Chesapeake Bay once was in her life.
Some disappearances leave more questions than answers. Some loves refuse to remain buried. And some places-like the Chesapeake Bay-hold secrets that won't let you go until you are ready to remember.
