Helen (Kate Capshaw) runs a bookstore in a small fishing community where everyone seems to know everyone else's business. A 42-year-old single mother, she is emotionally distant and fearful of getting too close to anyone. George (Tom Selleck) has known Helen since they were schoolmates, and he's been in love with her for ages, but has always settled for just being her friend. Convinced she wasn't interested in him, he married another woman years ago. Helen also has another secret admirer, Johnny (Tom Everett Scott), who isn't at all put off by the fact that Helen is twice his age.

The letter bears no signature and no address; it's at once passionate and oblique, fervent and cryptic. So who wrote it? And to whom was the writer planning to send it? Before long, th
