The Holiday Letter

by Susanne Ash

This Christmas, the past will write the future.

While working at the Chestnut Creek post office, Sophie Martin uncovers a sealed letter lost over a century ago. Written by James in the 1800s, the letter is a heartfelt plea to his beloved Elizabeth, asking her to wait for him despite the uncertainties ahead.

Compelled by the mystery and the depth of James's words, Sophie enlists the help of Ben, a local historian, to trace the fate of these long-ago lovers. As they delve into the town’s archives, the echoes of the past begin to resonate in their own lives.

Set against the festive backdrop of a small town at Christmas, "The Holiday Letter" weaves a tale of historical intrigue and contemporary romance, exploring how a simple piece of correspondence can inspire profound connections across centuries.

Reviews

[Sandra Hartzel]

I had a free copy of this book, but this is my voluntary and honest opinion. Sophie Martin is postmaster at Chestnut Creek, and finds a century old letter. She and local historian Ben try to discover the story behind the letter and fall in love along the way. A touching Christmas story featuring trust and commitment.

Fall in love with Chestnut Creek

What a fun premise for a story! A long lost letter and a whole town becoming invested in finding out what happened. This is short but the perfect length for a holiday read. Clean and wholesome.
