For three years Penny Ercanbeck has worked in the dead letter
office. She loves what she is doing…..she
has to open others mail if there are no clues to the correct address on the
outside of the mail. She comes across
letters from a man who is real pain who writes to his sweetheart, and always
signs the letter “Yours Truly Thomas”.
Penny has no idea Thomas had no intention of the letter reaching the recipient. He just wants to get his pain, anguish and
sadness for a sweetheart. His pain
touches Penny so much she actually travels to the town to try and find the
recipient. She finds out there is no way
to send the letter on.
She comes up with the idea to track Thomas down. He isn’t where he planned on traveling
to. He was going out west but he got
stuck in Azure Springs. Penny wants to
find this man to tell him why his letters are not being answered. She has no idea how she’ll be received and
she is going against every rule they have at the post office by going to Azure
Springs. She doesn’t know exactly where
it is he lives but knows he had to stop and ended up staying in Azure Springs. Great book fast read, couldn’t put it
down. I loved the ending. The author developed the characters well and
wrote a well-researched story. I don’t
want to put any spoilers in here.
I received this book in kindle format from #Netgalley.com “I

For three years, Penny
Ercanbeck has been opening other people's mail. Dead ends are a reality for
clerks at the Dead Letter Office. Still she dreams of something more--a bit of
intrigue, a taste of romance, or at least a touch less loneliness. When a letter
from a brokenhearted man to his one true love falls into her hands, Penny
seizes this chance to do something heroic. It becomes her mission to place this
lost letter into the hands of its intended recipient.
Thomas left his former life with no intention of ending up in Azure Springs, Iowa. He certainly didn't expect a happy ending after what he had done. All he wanted to do was run and never look back. In a moment of desperation, he began to write, never really expecting a reply.
When Penny's undertaking leads her to the intriguing man who touched her soul with his words, everything grows more complicated. She wants to find the rightful owner of the letter and yet she finds herself caring--perhaps too much--for the one who wrote it.
