Description:
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.
My Review:
When I started reading The Love Letter, I didn't know what to expect. What I found was a story of faith. It took me a bit to adjust to going between Hollywood and the Revolutionary War, but once I got the hang of it, the story unfolded beautifully. Chloe is an amazing character who struggles and faces obstacles; but relies on her faith to help her. And that's not the norm in the acting industry. Esther, also an amazing character for her time, carries the Esther/Hamilton story into unknown territory for that day. The parallel stories create an interesting journey and a superb ending. I received a complimentary copy of this book from Thomas Nelson through NetGalley. Opinions expressed in this review are completely my own.
