A Thousand Letters

By Staci Hart

Release Date: February 9, 2017

Sometimes your life is split by a single decision. 

I’ve spent every day of the last seven years regretting mine: he left, and I didn’t follow. A thousand letters went unanswered, my words like petals in the wind, spinning away into nothing, taking me with them. 

But now he’s back.

I barely recognize the man he’s become, but I can still see a glimmer of the boy who asked me to be his forever, the boy I walked away from when I was young and afraid. 

Maybe if he’d come home under better circumstances, he could speak to me without anger in his voice. Maybe if I’d said yes all those years ago, he’d look at me without the weight of rejection in his eyes. Maybe if things were different, we would have had a chance. 

One regretted decision sent him away. One painful journey brought him back to me. I only wish I could keep him.

The moment that I saw that this was inspired by Persuasion by Jane Austen, my interest shot through the roof. As if that cover wasn't gorgeous enough, the story inside sounds even better. I am so intrigued by this second chance romance. I love it when two people were close, then fall apart, and then they are completely different people when they are reunited. This sounds like it's going to be so emotional and I cannot wait to pick it up!
