Letters From War

Now in paperback, from platinum-selling singer Mark Schultz comes a novel based on his award-winning song “Letters from Home,” about a mother’s unwavering hope and steadfast prayers for her son to return from war.

Every night, Beth Thompson writes a letter to her son. Just in case. It’s been two years since James went missing while saving the life of a fellow paratrooper in his division. Beth writes about her battles with faith, occasional clashes with her headstrong daughter, Emily, and all the people and events that remind her of James. While he’s been away, his young wife gives birth to his first son-and James doesn’t even know his name.

Though well-meaning friends encourage Beth to move on, she refuses to give up on her son. So for two long years, Beth prays, cuddles her grandson, and writes letters.

Written with the same unique sensibility reflected in his song lyrics, Mark Schultz’s Letters from War is an emotional and relevant story with a poignant ending that tugs at readers’ heartstrings and makes them smile through their tears.
