Review: Yours Truly, Thomas by Rachel Fordham


To Purchase




About:


A young woman working at the Dead Letter Office in 1883 opens a series of heartbreaking love letters. She's determined to find their rightful owner and make things right. But a trip to Azure Springs, Iowa, may provide love and healing for more than just the letter writer.



My Thoughts:


Yours Truly, Thomas was a delightful, heartfelt, and heartwarming read of two people who fall in love in quite an unconventional way.

I have never heard of the Dead Letter Office- where undeliverable mail went, but that is exactly where Penny works when she comes across undeliverable mail from a man by the name of Thomas who writes to the woman he so clearly and dearly loves, Clara. As Penny continues to read these letters, she is bound and determined to do what she can to bring these two people together and give them the happily ever ending she so wishes she may have one day.

Penny is a young woman who I wanted to cry with especially after her wonderful and lovely prologue. However life has a way of throwing curveballs at us and Penny has lost someone she needed the most. Unbeknownst to her, but this is her happily ever story.

Thomas is lost and hurting as he decides to leave everything familiar to him and head west. He writes these letters to Clara baring his soul in hopes of finding some type of healing in his life. He ends up at Azure Springs a place that surprises him by its beauty and the people who welcome him and make him feel at home. He finally feels at home.

It was nice to go back and visit Azure Springs again and see that this town’s people were still open to helping each other and strangers. There is a lot of unwrapping in this story of Thomas and Penny and I enjoyed going on this journey with them. This was a lovely story about a lost art in a time of our so called technological advances.

I received a copy of this novel from the publisher. I was not required to post a positive review and all views and opinions are my own.
