In 1963, Neil Vincent, a middle-aged World War II veteran and “Christian atheist,” is working at Westfield Court as a chauffeur. He spends most of his spare time reading. Mary Claire DeWinter is a young, blind Catholic college student and reluctant heiress. To secure her inheritance, she has to marry within a year, and her aunt is pressuring her to marry a rich man who teased and bullied her when she was a child. Neil and Mary Claire shouldn’t even be friends, but the gulf between them is bridged by a shared love of books. Can they cross the bridge to more?

What Inspired You to Write Your Book?
Years ago, I saw a French film about a chauffeur and noticed that his job involved a lot of waiting time, so I thought it would be a good fit for someone who loved to read. As often happens with me, it took the combination of two ideas to create the spark.
How Did You Come up With Your Characters?
Mary Claire came to me, through a process I can't explain, exactly as she is on the page, right down to the names and fates of her brothers. Neil was originally defined by his job and his love of reading, but once he interacted with Mary Claire, he turned out to have a history and strong opinions too.
