Letter 16: A Novel of Time, Love, and War

By E.G. Ryan

The universe has its own sense of justice, its own interpretation of right and wrong. However, sometimes even the universe requires a catalyst to move the world forward, even if it comes in the form of a seemingly ordinary green glass bottle.Anna, the daughter a of Baron in World War II Germany, searches for her lost Jewish lover, Jakub, leaving her sifting through a web of family lies and secrets. In her desperation, she writes Jakub letters, setting them adrift in bottles, believing he will somehow find them. A lifetime later, and a world away, Diana, a young widow, discovers one of these bottles, and finds new meaning to life. This bottle, with its message of love, has traversed the globe over the decades, impacting the lives of everyone in its path: from school boys at war to a traveling motorcycle preacher seeking affirmation from his God. This bottle links Diana to Anna, and to all who have been touched by it. E.G. Ryan lives in Los Angeles and is the author and illustrator of ten wonderful children's books. She is currently working on her next novel. For more information on the author and her work, visit www.EGRyan.com.
