Yours Truly, Thomas

 Yours Truly, Thomas

Rachel Fordham

Thank you to Rachel Fordham. She sent me this book on cd last year when I was struggling with reading thanks to my eyes struggling with being able to see. I had tried listening to this when I was on a long road trip. But the narrators voice was so calming it was making me sleepy so I had to stop listening to it so that I made it there safely. 

I finally had the chance to be able to listen to it again. I did get it on audible to be able to listen to it safer in all my driving back and forth for doctors appointments.

Penny has started working as she and her mother fell on hard times after her father passed away and no one in their family is willing to help them out. She works in the dead letter office in Washington D.C. She comes across some of the letters that Thomas had written to someone else and she was so touched by his writing and the emotion in his letters that she wanted to try and find either who he was writing to or find Thomas. When her uncle shows up and tells her that she has a suitor and will move to Pennsylvania with him and her mother she decides that she was going to find Thomas.

Thomas who was haunted by events that had happened in his life decided to move out west to escape the memories and those that were angry with him. He didn't end up making it as far west as he was planning due to a wagon accident. 

Asher Springs is the town where everyone knows everyone and they make the visitors feel like they are at home. They care about each others well being and help those who are suffering to find the peace that they are seeking in their lives. They give them a place to feel like they belong. 

Asher Springs is a place for both Thomas and Penny to heal from their pasts. To find each other and to share their secrets to truly help them to recover and find that love that they have been searching for. To also find the forgiveness they are looking for. 

I really loved this story and loved the emotion that Teri Clark Linden put into the narration of the story. It really left me wanting to find out what had happened and how the story was going to end.
