When a plane ticket arrives from Newfoundland, Terri Withers is forced to confront the past she's spent ten years running from. Her grandfather is dying. The place she swore she'd never return to is calling her home. Withers Cove is not just a town - it's a fault line of betrayal, devotion, and buried truths. It's where Terry's mother was rejected, where her father stayed behind, and where a family fracture has festered for decades. As Terri steps into her grandfather's care and reclaims her childhood name, Tara, she is drawn into stories of wartime love, sacrifice, and choices that reshaped generations. But the version of the past Tara has always believed begins to unravel. As long-hidden secrets surface - especially from the grandmother who once turned her away - Tara realizes the story of her parents' escape was not an act of weakness, but survival. And the truth carries a cost. In a land as unforgiving as it is beautiful, grief becomes reckoning. Love becomes dangerous. And when a single misstep leaves Tara fighting for her life, she must decide whether she's ready to claim not just her inheritance, but her future. Powerful, haunting, and deeply human, Windswept is a story about family legacies, devastating secrets, and the courage it takes to choose who you become - when the past refuses to stay buried.

Based on the full text of ninety-two letters written during the Second World War and beyond, Dear Billie tells the true story of a long-distance romance that began during the war and lasted a lifetime. Written by Roland "Vern" Ploughman of Bay Roberts, Newfoundland, to his girl, Lillian "Billie" Wenman of Toronto, Ontario, these letters follow a tank gunner's experience of training, combat, wounding, and return home. Spanning from January 1943 to August 1945, they begin with nineteen-year-old Vern writing to seventeen-year-old Billie, who a friend insists he must meet. On August 10, 1944, during "Operation Overlord" and the Battle of Normandy, Vern Ploughman's tank was ambushed by fire from a Tiger tank in the trees. The Sherman tank was no match. The driver and co-driver were killed instantly, while Vern suffered severe injuries. Billie's letters to Vern, which he kept on board his tank, were destroyed. Years later, in 2019, Vern and Billie's daughter, Karen Lundy, discovered the remaining letters among her parents' possessions. She presents them here for the first time.
