    Summary

    Heloise is a brilliant, adored actress, who leans to challenging works that tell the untold narrative that needs to be shared. Marianne is an aviator, an engineer, and one of the heirs to a major aviation empire. She's probably the most beautiful nerd to graduate MIT. They've both tried to lead quiet, productive lives, making a mark on their mutual passions. It's not until they cross paths, on the set of a film in Vietnam, surrounded by vintage planes, that they immediately recognize their quiet connection. With the help of friends, can that connection withstand the test of geography and their dedication to their life's work? A little travel will happen, from Vietnam to Paris to Ghost Ranch, New Mexico.

    Summary

    “Maybe loyalty is a kind of patience. Like hope. A holding pattern for the heart, while we wait for change.”

    Marianne needed a change. Teaching in a country prep school for a year, as it turned out, would change pretty much everything.
