About No Secrets in This House, by Sheryll Cornett

No Secrets in This House, is a dual-timeline tale of women on different home fronts nearly a century apart. They are tied to each other as family, via an accidentally discovered cache of WWII letters, and by an inherited beach-cottage set on Ocracoke, an island-fishing village thirty miles out to sea.
