Top Notch Historical

I loved the concept of this story as supposedly two mysterious strangers pass letters in an old oak tree at the Buffalo Zoo. Laura and Isaac are each dealing with feuding shoe company families and trying to deal with expectations placed on them. The solace each finds is in the letters that are passed in the old tree. This is a beautifully written story that takes place in 1924 New York. An impressive book that sucks you in and anticipating turning the pages quickly to see what happens next. What happens when secrets are revealed and lies are uncovered will keep you riveted to your seat. I found it like peeling an onion one layer at a time and revealing what is underneath or like a multifaceted diamond that keeps shining. This book captured my attention and my heart. I recommend adding to your TBR pile on top. I received a complimentary copy from the author. The honest review and opinions are my own and were not required.

Added to my favorite books!!

is amazing how the Lord leads me to books, and this one will now go on my favorites list, because I really loved it! The story caught me from the first chapter where I found two people corresponding by writing letters to each other, and leaving them in an old oak tree close to the zoo. Those letters, who at first were just two people anonymously sharing their hearts, eventually ended up changing their lives and futures. It was so moving, filled with a 1920's love story that is not mushy at all, but so beautiful that it hooked me from the get go, and kept me all the way to the end! I couldn't put it down, and also I also couldn't believe how much I loved this story! Very rarely do I come across such a well written story that I enjoy so much that I wanted to reread it again, but I absolutely will reread it!! I can't wait to see if it comes out in audiobook form. This is my first I have read from Rachel Fordham, and I can't wait to read more. To me, it is definitely a 5 star book, and I can't recommend it enough!
