{"product_id":"9780996033206","title":"Love Letters 1909:: A Long Distance Romance Through The Mail","description":"Hidden in a trunk for over a century, these letters have been patiently waiting to tell their story. What you are about to read is not fiction, but a real life conversation between strangers who have never met. This collection of authentic letters is a slice of Americana that whisks you away to the Progressive Era. The horse and buggy are being replaced by driving machines. Kodak is providing a new way to preserve memories. Even the breakfast table is changing; the Kellogg brothers have discovered a way to make a flaked cereal. Along with a growing romance, these letters chronicle an historical eyewitness account of the opening race at the Indianapolis Motor Speedway and descriptions of the Michigan Militia in the training field. Estella is a modern girl who prefers living in town over the family farm. She enjoys her job as a candy maker and has a lively social life, but she still spends the occasional evening alone with her black cat. Most of her friends are already married, but Estella is holding out for the right man. When she mails a postcard to an old friend, she never dreams it will reach a stranger with the same name. Edwin is a machinist who has little time to look for a wife. Since the death of his father, he has been taking care of his mother and sisters. He spends his evenings writing marches and practicing maneuvers for the Michigan National Guard. He is one of best marksmen in the state. A fact his mother finds ironic since he cannot kill a chicken for dinner. When the postcard arrives addressed to a Mr. Edwin Ellis, he realizes it was intended for someone else, but he decides to answer it. Was it a twist of fate, or Providence that sent this letter to the wrong address? Edwin's band is playing a love song while the train carries his response from Grand Rapids to Battle Creek. Estella's heart is beating to its own rhythm as she reaches for the letter because she believes she recognizes the handwriting.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e| \u003cb\u003eAuthor: \u003c\/b\u003eCherilyn Clough\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e| \u003cb\u003ePublisher: \u003c\/b\u003eTable Rock Press\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e| \u003cb\u003ePublication Date: \u003c\/b\u003eMar 30, 2014\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e| \u003cb\u003eNumber of Pages: \u003c\/b\u003e123 pages\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e| \u003cb\u003eLanguage: \u003c\/b\u003eEnglish\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e| \u003cb\u003eBinding: \u003c\/b\u003ePaperback\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e| \u003cb\u003eISBN-10: \u003c\/b\u003e0996033203\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e| \u003cb\u003eISBN-13: \u003c\/b\u003e9780996033206\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Table Rock Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48936273019185,"sku":"9780996033206","price":10.83,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0798\/8215\/8385\/files\/9780996033206.jpg?v=1713740397","url":"https:\/\/www.recomparo.com\/products\/9780996033206","provider":"ReComparo.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
