On December 19, 1971, Sarah and Dick Allgood write from opposite sides of the world as Sarah approaches delivery. Sarah describes false labor, visible kicks from their baby, and the loneliness of Sundays without her husband. Dick writes from Vietnam about love with uncommon clarity — and for the first time admits how nervous he is that he isn’t there. Later that same night, Sarah writes again at 2:30 a.m., unable to sleep, naming her fears, anxiety, and the comfort she finds simply by writing to him.
