Chicago, 1944. Liz Stephens has little interest in attending a USO club dance with her friends Betty and Julia. She doesn't need a flirtation with a lonely serviceman when she's set to marry her childhood sweetheart. Yet something happens the moment Liz glimpses Morgan McClain. They share only a brief exchange--cut short by the soldier's evident interest in Betty--but Liz can't forget him. Thus, when Betty asks her to ghostwrite a letter to Morgan, stationed overseas, Liz reluctantly agrees. Thousands of miles away, Morgan struggles to adjust to the brutality of war. His letters from "Betty" are a comfort, their soul-baring correspondence a revelation to them both. While Liz is torn by her feelings for a man who doesn't know her true identity, Betty and Julia each become immersed in their own romantic entanglements. And as the war draws to a close, all three will face heart-wrenching choices, painful losses, and the bittersweet joy of new beginnings. Beautifully rendered and deeply moving, "Letters from Home" is a story of hope and connection, of sacrifices made in love and war--and the chance encounters that change us forever. Kristina McMorris is an award-winning author and graduate of Pepperdine University. She lives in the Pacific Northwest with her husband and two sons. "Letters from Home" is her first novel.

This has been on my TBR pile for over two years so I thought why not start it today. History, love, friendship, military…..looking forward to it.

My first book by Kristina McMorris and I ❤️ it!! Historical fiction about three young women roommates during wartime. Each are trying to figure out who they are and who they want to be. At the front of the story, Liz corresponds with a soldier she and her friends met at a dance the night before he was deployed. However, Morgan, the soldier, thinks he‘s writing letters to a different woman. #MountTBR

Here‘s a really great one if you like romance. Really really amazing, I loved how it went back-and-forth between The points of view of three different women and one soldier. Keeps you wanting to read for sure❤️
