Abstract
**Warning: Some of the language or characterizations in this book are the product of the time when this book was written, and are no longer considered acceptable.**
Spirited Ruth Franklin and the charming Horace Chase seem like a match made in heaven. However, once they embark on a journey down the East Coast to St. Augustine, trouble may be in the air for the couple neither of their families initially anticipated. Will their love be able to pass the tests of time and distance as Horace's work calls him elsewhere?
Local locations visited or mentioned include, but are not limited to the Matanzas Bay/River and the sea wall, the San Sebastian River, the St. John's Railway and/or Atlantic Ocean Railway, the pre-Flagler train station in St. Augustine, St. Francis Barracks, a bathhouse, the Plaza de la Constitucion, Anastasia Island, the St. Johns River, and Tocoi.

Constance Fenimore Woolson is the grandniece of well-known American novelist, James Fenimore Cooper. She lived in Florida in the late 1870s before moving to Italy in 1879. Her Florida-based short stories are considered her best, and she originally published them in serialized magazines in the 1870s.
