Yours Truly, Thomas by Rachel Fordham tells the story of a single woman working at a dead letter office whose letters from a man named Thomas pass over her desk. Penny feels heartbroken for this man who has lost the love of his life. She seeks to unite them by delivering the letters to his fiance herself. But she finds out some tragic news and feels even more connected to this mysterious Thomas. His words have truly touched her heart and she wants to give the letters back to him. She goes on a quest to locate the young man and finds herself and her dog traveling from Washington DC to a small town in Iowa. Penny is unprepared to meet the endearing people of this sweet town, but becomes attracted to Thomas but does not reveal her reasons for coming to the town. Some strange things start happening to Thomas and his new farm and Penny becomes involved. They form a friendship and become emotionally attached, but with secrets still between them. When she finally reveals who she is, will Thomas accept her?
This book was a sweet historical romance that swept me back to a time with dead letter offices, community dances, writing long letters, boardinghouses and taking chances. Penny was a young girl who felt things deeply and wanted romance more than anything in her life, but she felt stuck. She had determination and spunk to to pick up and travel to a faraway place on her journey to finding true love. This book gives a glimpse as to what a possible lost letter might give to woman searching for a place to belong. I enjoyed this story.
