Our Place by the Sea

Two generations. Two love stories. One timeless question.

In 1967, Max Johnson is offered the teaching job of his dreams. But taking it means leaving behind Molly—the woman he loves, though he isn't sure if she's truly "the one." Searching for answers, Max returns to his mother's house by the sea.

There, in the quiet of an attic, he discovers a box of letters that will change everything. Through them, Max learns of his mother's hidden past as Ruby Davis, a young woman whose first great love was a soldier bound for World War II.

As Ruby's story unfolds, Max begins to see his own life reflected in hers. The choices she made, the love she risked, and the heartache she carried reveal truths he can no longer ignore.

Told as a story within a story, Our Place by the Sea is a moving, multi-generational romance that weaves the coast of Maine, the memory of war, and the enduring question of love into a tale both timeless and unforgettable.
