Publisher's summary

Lt. Mellie Blake is looking forward to beginning her training as a flight nurse. She is not looking forward to writing a letter to a man she’s never met - even if it is anonymous and part of a morale-building program. Lt. Tom MacGilliver, an officer stationed in North Africa, welcomes the idea of an anonymous correspondence - he’s been trying to escape his infamous name for years.

As their letters crisscross the Atlantic, Tom and Mellie develop a unique friendship despite not knowing the other’s true identity. When both are transferred to Algeria, the two are poised to meet face-to-face for the first time. Will they overcome their fears and reveal who they are? Or will their future be held hostage by their pasts?

Combining a flair for romance with excellent research and attention to detail, Sarah Sundin vividly brings to life the perilous challenges of WWII aviation, nursing - and true love.

Critic reviews

"I love the nostalgia and drama of the WWII era. No one takes me back there better than Sarah Sundin. With Every Letter is a beautiful love story and has everything you want in a novel: romance, suspense, and characters you care about from the very first page. A marvelous beginning for her new series. I can’t wait to read the next book." (Dan Walsh, award-winning and best-selling author of The Discovery)

Great story

Loved the story line! It’s a sweet Christian romance. The development of the characters was perfect, and the storyline kept me interested the entire time. Would definitely recommend this one.

Great Story and Narrator

Would you consider the audio edition of With Every Letter to be better than the print version?

Yes it is better than the print version because The narrator hooked me from the very beginning. I couldn't wait to find out the outcome of the chracters stories.This audio book is an excellent listen.

What did you like best about this story?

The romance. Suspense and the friendships between the chracters

What about Kate Rudd’s performance did you like?

Everything! She made you fall in love with the main chracters. She made you feel every emotion and conflict that arose in the story. I would listen to her again.I hope she will narrate the other books in this series.

If you could take any character from With Every Letter out to dinner, who would it be and why?

Vera I wanted to find out more about her life and her backstory.

With Every Letter

With Every letter is such an uplifting book! It brought back many memories from a time during the Vietnam war when I was one of those letter writers ! We were given names of service men during the war with the hopes to boost their morale . Two of those men came to visit my family and we share a wonderful meal together . My family became theirs during our correspondence . They said it have them great courage and hope during those long hours in the war zone . I sent them prayers and scripture as well so they knew God was watching over them .

Amazing!!!

Wow! Sarah Sundin. What a great writer and a fabulous story. Deep, funny, inspirational, dramatic! I loved it!

Kate Rudd is, perhaps, the best narrator I've heard, and I've heard some excellent ones!!! Everything was amazing! Her tone, her voice inflections, her acting, her characters' voices, her passion, and her depth of emotion displayed. So many characters, and so many situations to portray; and she did it wonderfully!!! Thoroughly enjoyed it!!!

I Didn’t Want It to End

Such a beautiful story of love that goes beyond the expectations of the world. Sarah Sundin is one of my favorite authors. I have read or listened to many of her books. I really didn’t want this one to end!

Flies Above the Crowd

I can’t express how thrilled and blessed I am by Sarah Sundin’s stories (and I’m hard to impress;). Beautifully crafted, wonderfully worded, just enough heartache with just the right ending. I love historical fiction and hers is superb-researched and relatable.

unexpectedly religious

Any additional comments?

One thing that struck me was that the main characters are very religious. It is something that comes out in almost all of the narratives. Some may like this aspect, other may not. I think it's prevalent enough that I was surprised it wasn't mentioned in the description.
