Here is my review: MY REVIEW After I got over the sadness that I’d finished this delightful book, it took me a few days to gather my words together to try to express how much I loved this book. First, it was just the right balance of humor and depth I needed. If you don’t fall in love with these characters, are you even human? Second, I want to know what happens to Miles. And I’m excited that we will get to read his story too. But back…

The Letter Keeper by Charles Martin
If you have not read the first book in this trilogy, you still have time to do so before The Letter Keeper comes out in June 2021. You can find my review for the first book, The Water Keeper, HERE. There is so much I could say about The Letter Keeper, but I feel like saying too much would just spoil your journey of discovery. This trilogy is Martin’s best work to date. I’ve read many of his books, and this series hits you right in the heart, in your core, and leaves you wanting more. So here is my review: MY REVIEW When you turn the last page…
