Cleaning out the cellar of her Brooklyn brownstone in 2010, six years after her husband had died, Rosemary Grebin Palms came across an all-but-forgotten trunk of Charlie's belongings. Inside was a trove of treasures -- photos, significant documents like his discharge papers from the U.S. Navy, little keepsakes -- but for Rosemary, the biggest surprise was priceless: a large bundle of letters with her handwriting on the envelopes. She recognized them as half of the correspondence that she and Charlie had exchanged more than forty years before, during a year of separation when they were both going through life-changing decisions. In 2013 Rosemary found the missing half: the letters Charlie had written to her. She knew she had the basis of a memoir. **** This is that memoir, a record of a fateful, heart-wrenching, searching, exhilarating year in both their lives.
