The Letter Tree

by Rachel Fordham · 2023

In 1924 Buffalo, the feuding shoe dynasties of Bradshaw and Campbell keep their heirs apart—Laura Bradshaw, a sheltered heiress yearning for a happy ending, and Isaac Campbell, a reluctant bachelor haunted by his father's vendetta. Their only escape is a secret correspondence sparked by an oak tree in the city zoo, where each finds a confidante and a glimpse of hope. When Laura’s domineering father arranges a marriage to secure his business, the two lovers must decide whether the letters can become a bridge to a shared future or if the old rivalry will finally drown their dreams. A tender, period romance that proves love can rewrite even the deepest family feuds.
