From #1 "New York Times" bestselling author Karen Kingsbury comes a heartwarming story about childhood friends, broken lives, and a long ago promise that just might offer the hope of love for today.
As Ellie and Nolan move toward the possibility of a reunion at the oak tree, Kingsbury weaves a tale of loss, the power of faith, and the wounds that only love can heal, showing that it\'s never too late for those willing to take a chance..
But Nolan also suffers from a transcendent loneliness that nothing has ever eased.
Sometimes she watches television to catch a glimpse of her old friend Nolan, now an NBA star, whose terrible personal tragedies fueled his faith and athletic drive in equal measure.
Ellie, bereft of the faith she grew up with, is a single mom trying to make ends meet.
But now, much has changed.
The plan was to return eleven years later and read them.
Years ago, the day before Ellie moved from Georgia to California, she and her best friend Nolan sat beneath an ancient oak tree, they wrote letters to each other, and sealed them in a rusty old metal box.
