This book will leave you in tears. This story follows two people who are perfect for each other, the only problem is that they live 200 years apart. Present day Josie is staying at her late father's estate, taking time to grieve is death when she discovers letters addressed to her. Thinking her after left them for her, she opens them to discover a young man who lived at the estate 200 years ago wad writhing to someone with her name. The young man being Elias Roch. He took up residence at the estate to also greive his father's death. He also searches for a young woman he met at a party and fell in love with. Along with writhing letters that he hopes to send as soon as he gets her address. The format of this book can be a little confusing as you only get Josie's narration from e-mails she is sending to her best friend, Elias's narration from the letters he is writing to Josephine, and there is also another story happening while the others unfold.
