The old cinema sits proud-but neglected-on the cove's sun-bleached main street. Mary is determined to bring it back to its former glory, but when she discovers a crumbling photo album inside, one picture will change everything... Mary Turner's hopes of a happy life in beautiful Sand Dollar Cove come crashing down when her boyfriend leaves her. After her mother walked out when she was just a child, Aiden's betrayal destroys the last shred of belief in love that Mary's been clinging on to. When the cove's newest resident Steven Clarke hires her to renovate the town's historic movie theater, Mary is scared of failing. But she dreams of bringing the fading theater back to its 1960s glamor. Plus, the more she works with the elusive Steven, the more she comes to like him and his striking good looks-against her better judgement... As Mary's confidence grows, her heart starts to reopen to the possibility of love. But then, hidden in the cinema's storage room, Mary discovers a mysterious photo album containing pictures of a little girl who looks just like her. She can't believe her eyes. How is Mary connected to this album and the cinema? And will the answers help to heal her broken heart? Mary is willing to risk everything to learn the truth. But when she uncovers a secret that casts a shadow on her family, on Steven, and on Sand Dollar Cove, will the past haunt her forever? Or will she choose to believe in love and finally claim her happy ending?
