It’s been a while since I picked up a romance novel, and I’m really glad to feel my energy returning. After reading pages and pages in a month’s time, I must admit it feels like a victory!
This romance might have a classic vibe, with characters whose lives are intertwined by a single incident or fleeting encounter.
I absolutely love the concept of a lonely pen pal club where you write letters to strangers in different towns. I once received a handwritten letter from a stranger trying to persuade me to believe in God. It felt so personal —nothing like a mass-produced brochure. I even kept it for a while since it was such a rare experience.
A letter written in person still has the power to warm a lonely heart.
In this pen pal club, most letters go unanswered, allowing people to express their true feelings anonymously. But the letter Holly receives is different; it’s filled with grief she completely understands, and the writer mentions a place she knows well.
This connection drives Holly to track down the writer. Both women have faced life-altering car accidents, leaving them with deep wounds. Determined to uplift this elderly woman, Holly pours her heart into helping this woman. And they become friends.
The central theme of the story revolves around accountability in those car accidents. Was the driver at fault? Life can change in an instant, leaving us vulnerable to pain and misunderstandings. Healing relationships often requires reopening those wounds and embracing others’ feelings.
As Holly navigates this journey, she not only finds love but also reconnects with her own family.
