This book tells the story of divorced columnist Theresa, who gets an unexpected holiday surprise when she finds an exquisitely heartfelt love letter washed up on the beach in a corked bottle. Touched deeply by the devotion and loss radiating from the pages, Theresa publishes the letter in her column, expecting that to be an end to the matter. But when two more letters, equally heartbreaking, come to light, she knows she has to meet the mysterious writer, signed only 'Garrett', and sets out on a journey of discovery that will bring these two souls together in their loneliness and change their lives forever.

Untold secrets could keep them away from one another, will they reveal them?
I received this book from National Library Service for my BARD (Braille Audio Reading Device).
I found this book okay. It had a very intriguing start, but throughout the rest of the novel it did not spark my interest as much as I had hoped. I would recommend this book to anyone who has patience while reading.
