On August 27, 1971, Sarah and Dick wrote to each other from across the world — she in San Antonio, he in Vietnam. Their letters capture the closeness of their bond, even as they counted the days until their reunion in Hawaii. Dick dreams of love and intimacy, while Sarah shares her doctor’s visit, a promotion party, and the everyday details of preparing for the baby. Together, their words reveal the rhythm of their separation — filled with longing, humor, and the promise of being together again.
