The Love Letter

Sweeping, Split-Time Romance that blends Hollywood Glamor with Revolutionary War Intrigue

By: Rachel Hauck

Narrated by: Lisa Larsen

In The Love Letter by New York Times bestselling author Rachel Hauck, the lines between fiction and reality are blurred when a screenwriter begins to fall for the lead actress in his story inspired by a centuries-old love letter penned by his ancestor on the eve of battle.

When Chloe is given a peek at the script for an epic love story, she decides to request an audition for the lead female role of Esther. The compelling tale, inspired by scriptwriter Jesse Gates's family lore and a one-page letter from his colonial ancestor, 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 fight for love. 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.

Perfect for readers who love dual-timeline romance rich with history, heart, and faith, The Love Letter is a captivating story of courage, legacy, and the enduring power of love that echoes across generations.

Critic reviews

'From its epic opening to its unexpected and wholly satisfying conclusion, The Love Letter serves up the perfect blend of modern and historical romance infused with exquisite vulnerability. It sweeps readers into the centuries-old drama of South Carolina and the flash of contemporary Hollywood, and delightfully explores layers of social and emotional duality.'

'Hauck's latest is a gorgeous melding of two timelines into an unforgettable story. She does an incredible job balancing the two and the pacing works perfectly . . .What makes this story shine is that it isn't what readers will be expecting, but it will be what readers need. Themes of redemption, love, sacrifice and loyalty resonate throughout.'

Interesting story line

Had a hard time getting into the book. Didn’t like the female performing in song.

Sweet story

I don’t normally read or listen to Christian romance, but I really did enjoy this one. Creatively written across the span of three centuries with the lovingly subtle help of what I would call guardian angels, Jesse and Chloe find their love. Satisfyingly happy ending and reminds me that sometimes Gods plan doesn’t show directly, but having faith in His plan is the best way forward.

Splendid

A perfect miss of the past and the present. I will read more of Rachel Hauck’s books.

Best and most amazing book ever!

I am just lost at words - this book is flat out amazing! The twists that I never saw coming make my heart skip a beat... this book sucked me in to want to be them... sigh... must read! Especially if you want a good love story and to see how amazing God is!

Amazing
