Eli meets Julia Presley at the Peach Orchard Inn when he arrives looking for work. Her own son went missing several years ago and her marriage became a shell of what it once was. Suddenly, her life became monotonous, until she finds a series of old letters in a trunk.

The letters date back to the Civl War, and together Eli and Julia get lost in their pages. Soon, the tale within unfolds, and the couple finds itself immersed in the love story therein.

Goodnight challenges her protagonists to look at themselves and reach out to the gift of love that is blossoming between them. The author points out that although choices may forever alter our perspective, a life well lived is one where chances are taken.

Readers are destined to love the motivational, inspiring story of The Memory House. Goodnight proves through Eli and Julia that the jagged feelings of loss don’t have to define our future. Rather, we all have the potentiality to make positive changes regardless of our circumstances.
