This is a romance like no other that I have read and it’s a really good one! It reminded me of the TV series, “Signed, Sealed, Delivered” that comes on the Hallmark Channel. It’s about a dead letter office in D.C. and a girl who works there named Penny. Penny has a routine that is interrupted when she gets multiple letters from someone named Thomas to someone named Clara. Determined to deliver the letters to Thomas’s true love, Penny goes to seek her out. Failing at that mission, she makes up her mind to travel out west to find Thomas and tell him in person what has happened to Clara. The setting is believable and very rustic, with the old west calling and settlements along the way being established. The characters were realistic and humorous, also. I really liked Margaret, the lady with the Bed and Breakfast and Honey, Penny’s dog. Of course, I liked Penny and Thomas as well! Penny was a girl with a purpose and determination seldom seen in young people. Thomas had the same kind of determination, wanting to become a farmer in an unfriendly wilderness. I enjoyed the visual image of Azure Springs and the conflict between some of the characters. Mostly, I enjoyed reading the letters that Penny and Thomas wrote, letters that told us about the events in their lives and how their hearts were involved in those around them. I highly recommend this book to fans of Christian historical fiction!
