The "Special 25th Anniversary Edition" of THE LOST VALENTINE (2024) takes the reader back in time to the days of World War Two as Caroline Thomas waits faithfully through the next 50 years for her husband, Navy Pilot, Lieutenant Neil Thomas to keep a date and a promise. Her wait begins at Union Train Station, Los Angeles. As told by her son, Neil Thomas, Jr. to reporter and journalist Susan Allison, a promise to return by their wedding anniversary, Valentine's Day 1945, doesn't stop Caroline from keeping her promise to her MIA husband.
The timeless love story, viewed by millions of Hallmark Hall of Fame movie fans, shares Caroline's views about the nature of true and enduring love. Can Susan Allison learn Caroline's romantic secret, as Neil Jr shares the mysterious and startling nature of a promise finally kept? And when she does, can second chances and love become as real for them as Caroline and her husband's love once was?
