The Road We Left Behind

When Ruth fell in love at only seventeen years old, she was convinced that he was the answer to her happily ever after. They spent endless hours and days together as he, a young pilot on a wealthy farm, and she, a poor girl from the other end of town, fell deeper in love every day. Determined to get married, the two planned to elope, only to be stopped by his family. 

Broken hearted, Ruth was determined to live her life without his love, though she never forgot him. Eventually she married a man who wanted a wife as badly as she wanted children of her own, though the two never fell in love. It would take her granddaughter's discovery of her hidden past for her to reexamine her life and decide if she wants to take one last shot at happiness.
