Summer 1981

At the age of ninety-four, Maggie Howard’s final wish is to return to San Francisco and find out what happened to the young man who saved her life in 1906 after the disastrous earthquake and fires that devastated the city. They’d been trapped beneath a collapsed roof for hours, injured and unable to call for help.

The morning of their rescue, Orlando Gallo promised he would find her again. But Maggie hasn’t seen or heard from him in over seventy years, and now, widowed and childless, Maggie hopes to leave her estate to Orlando’s descendants. She invites her neighbor, forty-year-old Jo Sampson, to travel with her, and as the two women return to San Francisco to track down Orlando, they form a strong bond of friendship and healing that transcends time and place.

    My mother had dated the love of her life before my father. They broke up when she was still young, she married my father then. It was about 45 years ago or so. My parents divorced. I always knew about this other guy, she didn’t hide her feelings towards him. About 5 years ago, when I went to visit her, she told me and my wife the whole history in details, my wife then asked if she remembered his last name, she not only remembered, but also where he was from and his brother’s name. We promised her we’d find him, see if he was single and reunite them. We went on a mission to find him or his family. Like Joe and Maggie did, but online and calling. We did find his niece. She said he had passed away 8 years previously from cancer. He never married. We cried ours eyes out. And mom hopes to find him again in heaven. This book really touched me! Thank you!
  • Love the narrator, especially her voice for Maggie! I can't stand listening to books with AI voices with their lack of emotion and unnatural pauses in the wrong places, so this was a delight! What a wonderful story! Even though I own this as an e-book, I really enjoyed listening to it. Thank you for sharing!

    Such a sweet, warm and well-written tome. I was captured at the first paragraph. Your narrator is incredible! Thank you for this great escape!!! I'm listening to audiobooks in an effort to travel through the valleys of grief over my baby sister's life transition to Eternity. The comfort is beautiful.
