The Letter Tree is another well thought out and beautifully delivered novel from Rachel Fordham. Laura Bradshaw found a letter inside a tree at Buffalo Zoo. The discovery led her to make an anonymous friend who helped her deal with the loss of her mother. Years later the secret friendship is threatened by Laura’s father playing matchmaker to further his business goals.

Isaac Campbell is unsettled to learn his unknown friend is being forced to court another and asks Laura to break their anonymity rule and meet. He wants to beg her to be his instead, until he recognizes her as the daughter of hid family’s greatest business rival. Even worse, their fathers were in business together until a highly acrimonious split that divided the city. How can there be any hope of love when enemy status is the only thing their families can agree on?

You’ll have to read the book to find out. I can tell you it’s a lovely story, well written, with characters that are easy to warm to. I was pulling hard for these two from the first chapter. Thoroughly enjoyable story.

I received a copy of The Letter Tree from the publisher via NetGalley. The views are entirely my own.
