Not all goodbyes are forever. Tom and Caroline met on a summer day in 1965 in Ocean City, New Jersey. He was a soldier about to be sent to Vietnam. She was a divorceé whose future was uncertain. For just one night, they gave each other everything . . . and then said goodbye. But not all goodbyes are forever. Six months and many sizzling-hot letters later, Caroline and Tom are together again, this time in paradise. Tom’s R&R feels like heaven on earth, a place where war doesn’t exist. Neither of them want these seven days—and nights—to ever end. For one week in Hawaii, the past is irrelevant and the future is forgotten as two lovers share their hearts, their souls and their bodies under Pacific skies.
