In this collection of brand-new historical novellas from four outstanding storytellers, four young women find their lives altered after each receives a letter that sets her on a new path toward a changed life--and perhaps lifelong love. From a Hudson River steamboat to a lush drawing room, from a carousel carver's workshop to a remote and controversial hospital, readers will love being swept into the lives of four young women who are making their way in the world and finding love where they least expect it.

My take on this book:
Sincerely Yours is a collection of four novellas that can be read as a stand alone, making it easy to pick this one up spend an hour and then go back later to read another story, although in my case I read the book in one afternoon because it the stories were just that good. There are a couple of  things that ties each story together one is the heroine gets a letter that alters the course of her life, and the time frame in which each story takes place is also another common factor. There is no way for me to say which story was my favorite because I really enjoyed each one. The historical settings come to life with each story, but it was each heroine that really made these stand out stories for me. One heroine finds herself in a dilemma, she just might lose her inheritance if she doesn't marry, while another is desperate to get away from the man whom her brother is in debt to. One is willing to put herself in danger to save a loved one, and one heroine has a secret that is about to come to light. Each story has Christian themes woven in, and romance is a sure bet. While each story is novella length the author's don't scrimp on detail, providing for a rich satisfying read. What a wonderful way to sample each author's writing. 


A complimentary copy of this book was provided for review.
