"Some love stories don’t begin with fireworks—they begin with letters."

In the summer of 1934, Mary Antoinette Meister is already considered an old maid at twenty-two. Life in Batesville, Indiana, hasn’t offered much beyond chores and quiet expectations. So when she’s invited to help her brother, Father John, a Franciscan priest stationed in Port Sulphur, Louisiana, she agrees—more out of duty than curiosity.

She expects heat, mosquitos, and mass.

She doesn’t expect Oscar Buras.

A sixth-generation son of the bayou, Oscar is smitten the moment he sees Mary. But she’s unimpressed—and uninterested. Still, her brother encourages the unlikely suitor, seeing something good and steady in the young man.
He’s still in love. She’s still unconvinced.

A year passes. Mary returns to Indiana, and Father John moves on to another post. But Oscar isn’t ready to give up. At her father’s invitation, he visits Batesville—and finally convinces Mary to write.

What begins as reluctant correspondence becomes a lifeline.

One year.

Two hearts.

Dozens of letters.

And a love story that will cross miles, melt doubts, and stand the test of time.

Perfect for fans of heartfelt historical romance, Love Letters from the Edge of the World is a tender tale of second chances, stubborn hearts, and a love worth waiting for.
