Abstract

My novella, The Love Letter Box, is a story told through letters exchanged between a man and woman over the span of their lifetime. As though the letters are being picked out of a box at random, they jump around chronologically but the main story is eventually uncovered as more information about the characters is revealed. The story of Jennifer and Ethan is one of trials, confusion, loneliness and waiting, while still remaining grounded in faith and hope. It is a story that anyone can relate to, because every person has experienced these emotions at some time in her or his life. Preceding the novella is my author statement, which explains my creative process for the story and how many elements in the letters were inspired by my own life.
