About this eBook

Romeo and Juliet meets You’ve Got Mail in 1920s New York when hidden letters change everything for two lost souls and the community around them.

Seven years ago, a letter left inside a tree brought Laura Bradshaw an anonymous friend who helped her navigate the tragic loss of her mother and gave her something to look forward to despite the overbearing hand of her father. Life would be far bleaker, if not for her beloved Letter Tree, her dear friend, and her secret trips to the Buffalo Zoo. But even these rays of light are threatened when her father decides to play matchmaker in order to further his business goals.

When Isaac Campbell learns that his letter friend is destined to court another, he balks at the suggestion and begs her to break her rule of namelessness and meet him. Her words have endeared her to him, he’s ready to fall at her knees and beg her to choose him—that is until he sees her face. The stranger he’s become so attached to is not a stranger . . . but the only daughter of his family’s sworn enemy.

Can the grown children of feuding parents bridge the chasm between them? Or is the divide too deep—and too wide?

  • Historical romance with a forbidden love story
  • Stand-alone novel set in the 1920s
  • Includes discussion questions for book clubs

4 stars, Unique Postal System Two feuding shoe companies, two lonely young people, and one lovely old tree at the zoo. Is there a chance for love? Laura Bradshaw is lonely, she's found a mysterious pen pal in a most unusual place. Issac Campbell falls in love with the mystery woman who is leaving him letters in the old oak tree. I received a complimentary copy I was not obligated to post a review. #ThomasNelsonFiction #TheLetterTree #1920s #InspyFic #Inspirational #RachelFordham

Absolutely love stories set in the Roaring 20’s! Combine that with a forbidden Romeo & Juliet love story & nods to You’ve Got Mail & you have one amazing story! Rachel Fordham’s a favorite author who interjects the perfect amount of romance, emotion & faith. From the start, I was pulled into this story of childhood friends separated from each other because of their fathers’ bitter feud. Through anonymous, secret letters, these would be enemies develop a beautiful friendship which turns to more.
