Theresa Osborne is divorced and has a little son named Kevin. Before, she thought her marriage was perfect until one day she found out the affair between her husband and another woman; everything collapsed in pain.
Three years after the divorce, Theresa takes a vacation on a coast where one of her friends live. In the early morning, while walking on the beach, she finds a bottle hiding in the sand… which contains a letter inside! Curiously skimming through the note, she realizes it is a love letter from somebody who is very passionate and wants to expose his feeling towards probably his wife or his lover. The gentleman’s name is Garret, the lady’s name is Catherine and that’s all the information she knows… His tender words, true feelings and devotion make Theresa, a journalist decide to publish the letter on her newspaper without mentioning their names. And she thinks this way could help to pull them together. Astonishingly, a few weeks later, there are two more letters appearing at different places which have been written by Garret as well. This even greatly urges Theresa to meet Garret in person. Using all her profession and skills, she finally discovers he is a diving teacher who lives in a small fishing village, North Carolina. Immediately, she is off to that place without having any plans in advance.
They ultimately meet, gradually become friends and unexpectedly fall in love with each other. Garret doesn’t know that his three letters have been collected, read and published on the newspapers. Before she could do anything about that, he unfortunately finds out the truth and he feels like she has turned him down and betrayed him so badly. Their relationship falls apart and Theresa comes back to her own place.
As the sorrow in Garret is reduced, he realizes how much he loves Theresa therefore, he decides to write a letter hoping for her forgiveness and return. The novel has an open ending where Theresa replies the message wholeheartedly and drifts it away in the sea. The letter could or could not be received by Garret but probably she believes in fate and in their everlasting love.
This novel is very well-expressed and this is a good example of descriptive writing. I recommend this book to anyone who likes romance genre.
