She thought she knew her father. Then she read his love letters.

Moving her father into memory care is heartbreaking. Sorting through a lifetime of his belongings means deciding what to keep and what to let go.

Then Valerie Holden finds a locked box in his attic.

Inside are love letters from 1979. Intimate. Passionate. Addressed to a woman who wasn’t her mother.

Her father never mentioned Rose. Yet he chose it as Valerie’s middle name.

With dementia stealing more of his memories every day, Valerie may be running out of time to ask why.

What begins as a search for a woman’s identity leads to a horrific house fire in 1979. The deaths were ruled a murder-suicide, and the case was closed. But the letters raise questions the official account can’t answer.

Every discovery makes it harder to reconcile the father she loves with the past he never shared.

She could close the box. Let him keep his secrets. Protect her family from whatever waits inside those pages.

But she’s already read the letters.

And learning the truth could cost her the family she’s trying to protect.

The Love Letters is a twisty psychological thriller about buried family secrets, the people we trust most, and how far we’ll go to preserve the life we know.
