Description
Love Letters & Gingerbread, a novella set in 1831 Annapolis, relates the Jane Austen-inspired stories of Angela and Patricia, as the sisters ponder the question: What is love?
For Patsy, it is her passion for faithless Vincent, her suitor out of town for the winter. While she pines for him, her new neighbor William showers her with kindnesses as he falls in love with her. With the approach of Christmas and her first Winter Ball, she finds her heart rent in two over these two men.
Angela, the family’s caretaker since their father’s sudden death, discovers unexpected emotion rising in her heart upon meeting Gordon, a student at William and Mary. She tries to remain distant, knowing her mother needs her help—and after learning of a southern belle’s plans to marry him.
As they sort out their feelings, neither young woman will ever forget the Christmas of 1831.
