Description

Jennifer Donnelly returns to the unforgettable world of her beloved Tea Rose Saga with Molly’s Letter — the first in a series of novella-length stories written straight from the heart by Jennifer Donnelly for readers of the Tea Rose, The Winter Rose, and The Wild Rose.

Set between parts two and three of The Tea Rose, Molly’s Letter takes place in the summer of 1891, in New York City, in the early days of Fiona Finnegan’s marriage to Nicholas Soames. Though their marriage is an unconventional one and the wounds of the past are not fully healed, the two best friends are happy together, consumed with chasing their dreams and building a better life for themselves and their loved ones.

When Fiona senses a quiet love blossoming between her widowed uncle, Michael Finnegan, and his neighbor, Mary Munro, she’s thrilled and hopes that Michael will soon propose to Mary.

But one night, at a family supper, a surprise announcement tears these hopes asunder.

Will Mary be lost to a determined suitor? Or will Fiona and Nick find a way to unite two souls who belong together but are held apart by grief, pride, and too many words left unspoken?

Molly’s Letter is a love letter to family, friends, and the bonds that outlast loss, pain, and sometimes, even life itself.

You may order Molly’s Letter from your favorite retailer — or, while supplies last, order a signed paperback or hardcover directly from Jennifer!  If you would like Jennifer to inscribe it to someone, please indicate this in the “Order Notes” field in the checkout screen.
