All the Proof the Heart Requires
The letters arrived before she did - forty-seven of them, written in graphite and blue ink, stacked in a cedar box kept locked for nearly eighty years.
Imogen Strand is a forensic linguist. Her work is to authenticate, to weigh evidence, to let the facts speak for themselves. But these letters - written by a young sailor from the Maine coast to the woman he loved across three years of North Atlantic war - resist her professional distance. They're too specific. Too alive. Too particular in the way that only genuine love tends to be.
Owen Greer hired her to do a job. He didn't expect her to uncover what the letters were hiding beneath their silence. He didn't expect her, either.
As Imogen and Owen trace the arc of a love story cut short by a single month's terrible timing, both begin to understand what it costs to leave the most important things unsaid - and what it might take, at last, to say them.
Some proof doesn't come from evidence. Some proof only arrives when you finally find the courage to speak.
This is a love story about love stories - about the precision that real feeling demands and the specific bravery of naming what is true. Don't let this one stay unread.
