STARS: *****
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.
Each of these four stories captured my imagination and heart. Lured into more adventure than they had anticipated, the heroines in these stories each in their own way stepped outside their comfort zones into a life of purpose and love. Spunky and yet sensitive, Camilla, Merrie, Lorraine, and Grace and their beaus were drawn in such fine detail, I feel I would recognize them in an instant.
Picturesque descriptions and quality writing kept me in the stories, and I thoroughly enjoyed each one. What made these novellas even more intriguing were the additional comments from the authors. Fascinating!
I was offered an e-copy of this book in exchange for my honest review. I loved these stories and give Sincerely Yours five stars.
