Inspired by the true story of her own grandparents'
courtship during World War II, Kristina McMorris captures
the heartache and sacrifice of love and war in LETTERS FROM
HOME,an award-winning debut novel that is timeless, tender
and unforgettably moving. Chicago, 1944. Liz Stephens has little interest in
attending a USO club dance with her friends Betty and
Julia. She doesn't need a flirtation with a lonely
serviceman when she's set to marry her childhood
sweetheart. Yet something happens the moment Liz glimpses
Morgan McClain. They share only a brief conversation—cut
short by the soldier's evident interest in Betty—but Liz
can't forget him. Thus, when Betty asks her to ghostwrite a
letter to Morgan, stationed overseas, Liz reluctantly
agrees. Thousands of miles away, Morgan struggles to adjust to the
brutality of war. His letters from "Betty" are a comfort,
their soul-baring correspondence a revelation to them both.
While Liz is torn by her feelings for a man who doesn't
know her true identity, Betty and Julia each become
immersed in their own romantic entanglements. And as the
war draws to a close, all three will face heart-wrenching
choices, painful losses, and the bittersweet joy of new
beginnings. Beautifully rendered and deeply felt, LETTERS FROM HOME is
a story of hope and connection, of sacrifices made in love
and war—and the chance encounters that change us forever.
