From Amazon:

Growing up as a foster child, Emma Starling had never had a home of her own. She longs for a sense of continuity and connection with something real. On a whim, she purchases a house in a small town, a house whose family doesn’t seem to value their long history. Maybe she’ll have a home of her own, after all.

Approaching twenty years in the military, Morgan Waverly wonders if he should take retirement. Enlisted at seventeen, he’ll have to time explore possibilities. He’s unsure, until a letter arrives.

5.0 out of 5 stars Sentimental

Sentimental is an understatement for sure. This short story packs a lot in less than 100 pages. Heart strings are tugged upon. Past Christmas and holiday memories both good and bad. One single letter touched countless souls and brought more love into environments devoid of love, and those filled with. A great love story.
