Violets Are Blue
“There's a summer you'll always remember, and a hope that if you go back, it will all happen again.”
After fifteen years of traveling around the world, Gussie, a famous photographer, returns to the Maryland coastal resort where she grew up. She meets her high school sweetheart, Henry, who is now married and running the local newspaper he inherited from his father. An awkward and tension-filled romance ensues.
