Publisher Description
Mere words can't end their families' feud, but they still plan to rewrite a future together.
Buffalo, NY, 1924. Laura Bradshaw adores stories with happily ever afters. But since her mother died seven years ago, the Bradshaw Shoe Company heiress has been as good as locked away in a tower. Her overbearing father cares little for her dreams, throwing himself instead into his tireless takedown of his competitor, the Campbell Shoe Company. However, Laura has been gifted with a reprieve: a mysterious friend with whom she's been exchanging letters.
As heir to the Campbell Shoe Company, Isaac Campbell is a sought-after bachelor who has never felt an inkling of desire for the women who constantly bat their eyes at him. His thoughts are consumed by an oak tree in the Buffalo Zoo--or rather, the mystery woman he exchanges letters with courtesy of the tree. She's been one of Isaac's only joys in a life consumed by his father's tireless hatred of Bradshaw. A hatred that, Isaac is coming to realize, may affect him more personally than he ever imagined.
When Laura's father orchestrates a match between her and an important business owner, she resolves to pursue her only chance at freedom. But Isaac believes their story isn't bound for a tragic ending. He's certain there's more to the Bradshaw-Campbell feud than meets the eye. And he won't stop digging until he uncovers the truth that might bridge the divide between him and the woman whose words have captured his heart.
The Letter Tree is a charming and heartwarming historical romance that promises low spice but high swoon. A must-read for those who enjoy forbidden romance, written letters, family drama, and historical details. Book club discussion questions are included!
"A sweet, heartfelt romance that contains all the things I love best in historical romance, including a beautiful epistolary element." --Mimi Matthews, USA TODAY bestselling author
Customer Reviews
Oh the Love of a Rachel Fordham Story!
Oh the love of a Rachel Fordham story…her turn of phrase and writing style always places me right into the middle of the story…the time, the setting, the fashion…just the stories would be enough to capture my interest but the way she puts pen to paper makes them so much more memorable and inspiring.
Slow burn, emotional, forbidden love, coupled with letters that bear the very heart of the scribe, meld perfectly together to create a memorable love story. Include both shady and endearing secondary characters, perfect pacing and a search for answers to the past and you have another excellent tale to read and reread. This story will be my favorite until Fordham releases another.
This book is suitable for teens and older with no inappropriate intimate scenes and no bad language. I received this book from the author/publisher free of charge, with no expectation of a positive review.
