Who doesn’t like a good cozy?
Those stories set in small town Americana with enough tension to keep us
interested and leaving us with a warm fuzzy feeling of satisfaction. Mary L.
Ball’s Postmarked Ever After is such a book. It’s a romance, not a cozy mystery—you
know, those dealing with murders—but it does revolve around a secret.
Set in a small coastal town in
North Carolina, the story presents its heroine, Serena Gray, with a unique dilemma
when she receives a letter. Her deceased husband had a child he never knew
about. Then strange things happen, drawing Serena to that child and her widowed
father, Adam.
As her relationship with Adam
deepens, Serena fears her secret will hurt the two people she loves. Her
struggle in deciding how to reveal the secret tests Serena’s spiritual strength,
while giving her the chance to love again.
The kindle version had a
few editorial errors, but that in no way detracts from Mary’s smooth, easy
writing style. The characters are well developed and descriptions are woven in
so as not to draw the reader out of the story.
This is a feel good story that contains enough intrigue to keep you guessing and leaves you believing in love ever after.
A delayed letter and a message
from afar unite two hearts.
Recently widowed Serena Gray
battles the daily drama of the emergency room, as well as her grief. When a
mysterious letter arrives, it raises questions about a past she’d only heard
her beloved husband speak about. While on hospital rounds, a child has a brush
with death and recounts a vivid dream that bears a message. Will she risk
happiness for the truth or keep a secret from the past?
