A chance encounter thrusts a lonely and lost young British woman into a web of forgotten promises and lost love.

When Isabel embarks on a journey to honour a dying woman's plea, she unlocks the secrets of a wartime romance on the picturesque Isle of Wight. As the threads of the past and present entwine, Isabel must unravel heartaches, and in doing so, she will forge new bonds and find a place to call home.
But is it too late to right the wrongs of yesteryear? And is Isabel brave enough to embrace a different future to the one she imagined for herself? A future on the Isle of Wight with the man she's fallen in love with?

★★★★★ "The Promise found it's way into my heart, and the haunting story of Constance and Isabel stayed with me long after I finished reading," Annie Seaton, bestselling author of Whitsunday Dawn

Veronica's life isn't what she expected it to be - a divorced woman in her forties with two teenage sons, a sister who fancies herself as an 'it girl', and a mother in a care home. But when a letter from her past arrives, it forces her to confront a secret she's been hiding for years.

Isabel is also struggling to find the missing piece of her life, and when their secrets intersect, their lives are changed forever.

In The Letter, two women discover the courage to re-examine their past and find the strength to move forward. If you enjoyed Michelle Vernal's The Promise, you'll love picking up with Isabel and Constance again in this emotionally powerful story of two women on a journey of self-discovery.

A Reader’s Favorite 2020, Gold Medal award winning novel.
