      Synopsis

      Brenna O'Brien doesn't believe in happy endings. Not since the love of her life, Pierce McGovern, left her years ago without a word. Now she leads a quiet life surrounded by her matchmaking sisters, running a historic movie theater and collecting old wartime letters. But she leaves the letters unopened, preferring to imagine their possibilities rather than risk being disappointed.

      Then Pierce comes back to town, shattering Brenna's hard-earned peace-and forcing a reluctant Brenna to reexamine her life and question everything she has told herself to be true. It isn't until a box of hidden wartime letters is unearthed, and Brenna uncovers an ill-fated love story and a secret from her own past, that she realizes if she doesn't come to terms with the life she let slip away, she may never have the courage to go after the life she wants.

      May 23, 2009: I have just finished reading my first three Karen White books -- all in a row. I honestly cannot tell you which one I liked best as they were all so good! I read THE HOUSE ON TRADD STREET first, then THE LOST HOURS. I ran to the B&N and bought three more and just finished reading LEARNING TO BREATHE. This book would especially be enjoyed by family historians and genealogists, but is a super read for anyone. Karen's characters building skills are terrific. I strongly recommend this author!

      I Also Recommend: These Is My Words, Big Stone Gap, Sullivans Island, Beach Music, Prospect Street.

      April 05, 2009: I liked her book The House on Tradd Street much better. I just kept wanting the people in the book to hurry up and figure out the obvious. It kind of dragged on.
