"Lyrical, heartbreaking, and emotionally intense, A THOUSAND LETTERS is a beautiful portrait of an undying love that deserves a second chance."
— Melanie Harlow, USA Today Bestselling Author
A Thousand Letters, an all-new emotional standalone by Staci Hart is LIVE!!!
Sometimes your life is split by a single decision.
I’ve spent every day of the last seven years regretting mine: he left, and I didn’t follow. A thousand letters went unanswered, my words like petals in the wind, spinning away into nothing, taking me with them.
But now he’s back.
I barely recognize the man he’s become, but I can still see a glimmer of the boy who asked me to be his forever, the boy I walked away from when I was young and afraid.
Maybe if he’d come home under better circumstances, he could speak to me without anger in his voice. Maybe if I’d said yes all those years ago, he’d look at me without the weight of rejection in his eyes. Maybe if things were different, we would have had a chance.
One regretted decision sent him away. One painful journey bought him back to me. I only wish I could keep him.
*A contemporary romance inspired by Jane Austen’s Persuasion*

A Thousand Letters is easily the best book I’ve read so far in 2017 and I’m certain it will make my top favorites list of the year. It was the perfect book for me. High on emotion, gave me all the feels and was a gorgeous second chance romance. I’m going to be honest, when I started reading this book I was a little shocked. I’ve only read two other Staci Hart books, but they were much lighter than this one. Don’t get me wrong- I loved the other two books I’ve read, but this one… it packed a punch.
Wade and Elliot were high school sweethearts. They were that couple that could never be separated and torn apart. Until they were. This breakup changed each of them. Neither one has been whole since it happened. Wade went his own way to the Army, and Elliot went to college. They’ve been apart for many years, but one tragic event brings them back together.
Wade’s father is terminally ill. Elliot is Wade’s sister’s best friend and essentially a part of the family. They have no choice but to spend time with one another. Watching the two of them together- it’s beautiful, but also painful. You can feel the heartbreak that is there and the love that's still lingering.
"I thought I could forget you. I even convinced myself I had, for a time. But it was impossible. You left a mark on my soul I couldn't erase.”
This couple… they really touched my heart. They never, not for one second stopped loving each other. There may have been circumstances that kept them apart physically, but it was one of those things where once you find that one true love, you’ll never be able to love anyone else. Now, this wasn’t a lovey dovey romance. It was an emotional one with lots of feelings (not all of them happy) and it deals with sensitive subjects. I guess what I’m trying to say is if you’re looking for a hearts and flowers romance, this isn’t it. But it is a stunningly epic love story between two souls that are meant to be.
I love second chance romances when they are done right, and this, in my opinion, was done perfectly. I felt so much, I loved so hard and didn’t want to stop reading. A Thousand Letters is an unforgettable story of love, loss, forgiveness and second chances. It’s one you won’t want to miss!
"Life is short, so short, so precious, every minute, every day. Don't let the people you love, the people who make you happy, the people who bring you joy —don't let them go. Hang on to them, even when it hurts. When it seems impossible. Hold on to the things that breathe life into you. Listen to your soul and honor what it tells you. Live. Fight for what you love.”
