520 $aIn 2010 young teacher Lisa Anderson discovers a box labeled "Courting Letters." Untying the beribboned packets, she finds loving epistles, penned a century before. In 1907 in Ipswich, England, the authors of the letters, Gertie and Fred, meet. Just as their friendship begins to deepen into something more, financial problems force Fred and his family to emigrate to America in search of a better life. Hopes for the budding relationship appear crushed--or so it seems. Months go by before Fred begins to woo Gertie from afar. As Lisa begins to read, the couple's love story unfolds, a dance of words fraught by obstacles, not the least of which is the Atlantic Ocean separating the pair, which delays each letter sent for ten days by ship. Gertie and Fred's long-ago story enlightens and inspires Lisa as her own modern-day search for love continues, and her life changes direction in a way she never expected. Dear Heart: The Courting Letters is a tapestry woven of two intersecting love stories, one fictional and modern and the other based on Gertie's and Fred's real-life courting letters. Their stories remind us that while change is inevitable in life and in love, some universals apply
