SUMMARY:

There are moments in life that don’t ask to be remembered… They arrive quietly. They pass like any other. Only years later do we realize— that was the moment everything changed.

When Beth Dawson travels from Dallas to Memphis for a celebration marking the end of World War II—and a ten-year high school reunion—she hopes to reconnect with the one man she never forgot. But he isn’t there.

Instead, she meets someone unexpected. What begins as a quiet conversation on a rain-soaked porch becomes a connection that will shape the course of her life in ways she cannot yet understand. Because some love stories aren’t meant to be simple. Some are built on timing… on longing… and on secrets powerful enough to unravel everything. Spanning decades of passion, choices, and consequences, Beneath the Cypress Knees is a hauntingly beautiful story about the moments that define us—and the ones we never see coming.
