"Some love stories don't begin with fireworks-they begin with letters."In the summer of 1934, Mary Antoinette Meister is already considered an old maid at twenty-two. Life in Batesville, Indiana, hasn't offered much beyond chores and quiet expectations. So when she's invited to help her brother, Father John, a Franciscan priest stationed in Port Sulphur, Louisiana, she agrees-more out of duty than curiosity. She expects heat, mosquitos, and mass. She doesn't expect Oscar Buras. A sixth-generation son of the bayou, Oscar is smitten the moment he sees Mary. But she's unimpressed-and uninterested. Still, her brother encourages the unlikely suitor, seeing something good and steady in the young man.He's still in love. She's still unconvinced. A year passes. Mary returns to Indiana, and Father John moves on to another post. But Oscar isn't ready to give up. At her father's invitation, he visits Batesville-and finally convinces Mary to write. What begins as reluctant correspondence becomes a lifeline. One year. Two hearts. Dozens of letters. And a love story that will cross miles, melt doubts, and stand the test of time. Perfect for fans of heartfelt historical romance, Love Letters from the Edge of the World is a tender tale of second chances, stubborn hearts, and a love worth waiting for. Order now to get lost in this love story loosely based on a true story.
