<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Book </b></p></br></br>Inside the walls of the Dead Letters Depot, letter detectives work to solve mysteries. They study missing zip codes, illegible handwriting, rain-smudged ink, lost address labels, torn packages, forgotten street names--all the many twists of fate behind missed birthdays, broken hearts, unheard confessions, pointless accusations, unpaid bills, unanswered prayers. Their mission is to unite lost mail with its intended recipients. But when letters arrive addressed simply to "My Great Love," longtime letter detective William Woolf faces his greatest mystery to date. Written by a woman to the soulmate she hasn't met yet, the missives capture William's heart in ways he didn't know possible. Soon, he finds himself torn between the realities of his own marriage and his world of letters, and his quest to follow the clues becomes a life-changing journey of love, hope, and courage.<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br><strong>"Enchanting, intriguing, deeply moving. </strong><strong><em>The Lost Letters of William Woolf</em></strong><strong> concerns itself as much with lost love as it does with lost letters." <p/>--</strong><strong><em>Irish Times</em></strong><strong> <p/>***</strong> <p/><strong><em>Lost letters have only one hope for survival...</em></strong> <p/>Inside the walls of the Dead Letters Depot, letter detectives work to solve mysteries.
