So she is astonished when her first fan letter arrives, from a college student, David Graham, in far-away America. As the two strike up a correspondence--sharing their favorite books, wildest hopes, and deepest secrets--their exchanges blossom into friendship, and eventually into love. But as World War I engulfs Europe and David volunteers as an ambulance driver on the Western front, Elspeth can only wait for him on Skye, hoping he'll survive. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e June 1940: At the start of World War II, Elspeth's daughter, Margaret, has fallen for a pilot in the Royal Air Force.

As Margaret sets out to discover where her mother has gone, she must also face the truth of what happened to her family long ago. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e Sparkling with charm and full of captivating period detail, \u003ci\u003eLetters from Skye\u003c\/i\u003e is a testament to the power of love to overcome great adversity, and marks Jessica Brockmole as a stunning new literary voice. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cb\u003eLook for special features inside.
