About this book

When a mysterious bottle washes ashore, newspaper columnist Theresa discovers a love letter so achingly beautiful it pulls her into an unexpected search for its author. Drawn by questions she can't ignore and emotions she thought she'd buried after her divorce, she sets out to find Garrett—a man whose devotion to someone lost speaks to something deep within her own heart. What begins as curiosity transforms into a journey toward an unexpected connection, as two wounded people discover that sometimes the universe has a way of bringing exactly the right souls together at exactly the right moment. This is classic Sparks—a tender, emotionally rich exploration of second chances and the extraordinary power of love to heal us.
