Lee and Cordelia start sending each other Christmas cards with a letter inside for ten years. It all started when they were fourteen years old, Lee was offered ten dollars if he sent the letter, and Cordelia was about to have a heart operation. It was uncertain she would make it. This exchange started their annual Christmas exchange and we get to read their letters as they form this strong bond of friendship, then love.
In a way, both were lonely, even while surrounded by people. Their connection gave them that companionship that Cordelia’s invasion of relatives during Christmas at her house, and Lee’s two friends in whose house he lived in Alaska, didn’t fulfill.
I felt all the longing and yearning for someone close as they share their life and their feelings. I was humbled by the level of caring they had for each other. My throat had a knot most of the time because I felt they were soulmates and yet, they were so far away from each other. It was a torturous road and I felt every tear, every disappointment. This story kept me glued to the pages and even a little desperate to learn what happens next. Only this author has the capacity to make me cry so much as I read a book, she really twisted my heart.
And through it all, there’s the hope and the positivity, as Lee and Cordelia face life and all of its attributes. They so much deserved to have a happily ever after! Beautiful story!
