We Will Meet Again

By Helen C. Escott

A testament to the strength of women.

Mothers and daughters share a special bond. It is an unconditional love that is irreplaceable.

Hadley Hynes is days away from celebrating her one hundredth birthday. Her daughter, Patricia, granddaughter Ava, and great-granddaughter Christine are planning one last birthday party in the house on Victoria Street that Hadley has lived in for over eighty years.

While cleaning out the cupboards, Ava discovers a hidden box of letters from Hadley’s first love, John Vincent, a Newfoundlander who volunteered to serve in the British Royal Navy. It is only then they discover that John died during World War II and Hadley married John’s best friend, Michael.

While cleaning out their childhood home, each woman reveals a secret that has paralyzed her life. They pack up boxes and bags only to discover how each of them has nurtured a generational trauma and turned it into a family tradition.

We Will Meet Again is the love story of four generations of women and how they healed their past to protect their future.
