In the small town of Athens, Tennessee, two girls from very different worlds meet and form a friendship that will shape the rest of their lives.

For Diana Walker and Percy Hall, childhood friendship becomes first love, heartbreak becomes a wound they carry for years, and the past is never as far away as they believe.

From the innocence of childhood to the complicated choices of adulthood, their story unfolds across decades of love, separation, loss, and rediscovery.

Some connections change us. Some break us. And some remain beneath everything, waiting for us to find our way home.

“A love story for the ages.”
— LesFan
