Fiction. Literature. Romance. Historical Fiction. HTML:Inspired by her grandparents' WWII courtship letters, New York Times bestselling author Kristina McMorris delivers a moving tale of friendship, family, and the twists of fate that change us forever . . .

It's 1944, and although foreign battles are escalating, the war seems distant in every way to sensible college student Liz Stephens. That is, until her chance encounter with charming infantryman Morgan McClain at a USO dance in Chicago. Their deep connection feels mutual to Liz, but to her dismay, her bombshell roommate, Betty, is the one who promises to write the deploying soldier.

Singer Betty Cordell delights in the prospect of a dashing serviceman filling her life with adventure, marital bliss, and societal circles outranking her modest roots. It only makes sense for her to beg Liz for help penning an eloquent letter to Morgan, now bound for a dangerous front. After all, she's certain the beauty of Liz's ghostwritten prose would ensure a courtship as enviable as their roommate Julia's relationship with her beloved sailorâ??and Betty is right, though not how she foresees.

Likewise, Julia Renard's betrothal is more complicated than it appears. When tempting opportunities arise, the future she always envisioned as a devoted wife and mother risks derailment. And yet, as the Allies edge toward victory, every personâ??through heart-wrenching choices and life-altering lettersâ??will discover within themselves profound courage, bittersweet hope, and the true meaning of home . . .

"A gripping and memorable story, Letters from Home is a timeless lesson in love and loss and the moments that shape our lives."

I really enjoyed this book. Read it in one day, I couldn't put it down. I would've given it 5 stars if it wasn't for the summary. I thought it was solely about Liz and Morgan. When it was really about her, her 2 friends and Morgan. It was just a little confusing the first few chapters when they were trying to separate the stories from the 4 characters. ( )

Enjoyable but predictable romance.

Liz falls in love with the man she is writing to.
Betty finds out she is more than just a pretty face when she joins the WAC.
Julie thinks her fiancé's brother hates her, he is in love with her of course. ( )

Amazing debut. Kristina captures the feeling of the times well, the drama, and the love stories.
I want to see this as a movie! ( )

Classic Cyrano with a twist. Great period piece. Seeing the different women come into themselves was as compelling as the budding romances. ( )
