From the New York Times bestselling author of The Wedding Dress comes a story of long-lost love and its redemption in future generations.
Romance has never been actress Chloe Daschle's forte-in life or on screen. But everyone knows who to call for a convincing death scene . . . and it might be killing her career.
When Chloe is given a peek at the script for an epic love story, she decides to take her destiny into her own hands and request an audition for the lead female role, Esther Kingsley. The compelling tale, inspired by family lore and a one-page letter from the colonial ancestor of scriptwriter Jesse Gates, just might break her out of this career-crippling rut. Jesse would rather write about romance than live through it after his past relationship ended in disaster. But once on-set together, the chemistry between Jesse and his leading lady is hard to deny.
Centuries earlier, in the heart of the Revolutionary War, Hamilton Lightfoot and Esther Longfellow wrote their saga off the silver screen. Esther's Loyalist father opposes any relationship with Hamilton, but Esther must face her beloved father's disapproval and the dangers of war in order to convince Hamilton of their future together. Hamilton has loved Esther for years, and on the eve of battle pens the love letter she's always wanted-something straight from the heart.
Set in stunning upcountry South Carolina, The Love Letter is a beautifully crafted story of the courage it takes to face down fear and chase after love, even in the darkest of times. And just maybe, all these generations later, love can come home in a way not even Hollywood could imagine.

If you love dual timelines, you cannot miss this book. It's got some of the most well-written romance scenes, and the beautifully woven stories that cross the decades will linger with you long after the last page is turned. It took me a few pages to get into the rhythm and then I didn't want to put it down. It's on my list of all-time faves because the author weaves together threads of faith, loss, heartbreak, and victory like few others can. The historical story had me awake well into the night and I had to re-read some of the pages again just to relive them they were so evocative and in-the-moment. Rachel's is a modern voice with a big heart for triumph - if you've never read one of her books, do what I did and make this your first. It's unforgettable.

What a great book. I really appreciate the intricate storyline with historical connections that are relevant to the present day characters who are struggling with their own mistakes/regrets. It is artistically written to make for an addictive read.

Brilliant plot, loved the ending.
Any lovers of both historical and contemporary Christian fiction who enjoy a good plot twist will love this book. The author's style is easy to read and the story is gripping. At times I worried about how it would end after investing so much of my time and emotional energy. However, the end left me awed and completely satisfied. The story is very cleverly crafted. It's the first time I have read a book that brings together 3 stories so well. It includes the story of historical characters and a present day descendant, alongside a movie written by the present day descendant, based on how he imagined his ancestor's historical story could have played out. It is weaved together beautifully to present a complex masterpiece.
