When Chloe is given a peek at the script for an epic love story, she decides to request an audition for the lead female role of Esther. The compelling tale, inspired by scriptwriter Jesse Gates's family lore and a one-page letter from his colonial ancestor, just might break her out of this career-crippling rut. Jesse would rather write about romance than live through it after his past relationship ended in disaster. But once on-set together, the chemistry between Jesse and his leading lady is hard to deny. Centuries earlier, in the heart of the Revolutionary War, Hamilton Lightfoot and Esther Longfellow fight for love. Esther's Loyalist father opposes any relationship with Hamilton, but Esther must face her beloved father's disapproval and the dangers of war in order to convince Hamilton of their future together. Hamilton has loved Esther for years, and on the eve of battle pens the love letter she's always wanted--something straight from the heart. Perfect for readers who love dual-timeline romance rich with history, heart, and faith, The Love Letter is a captivating story of courage, legacy, and the enduring power of love that echoes across generations. Review: Dual Love Stories Hit Hollywood - Chloe Daschle’s life is in a downward spiral. Her past relationships have not been emotionally satisfying; and her acting career has her being typecast in roles where her character always dies. At the age of 29 she’s given up on finding true love and sets herself on becoming a grand dame of the acting world. When her friend Smitty sneaks her a copy of a script called Bound by Love, Chloe knows that the part of Esther Longfellow is perfect for her. Fortunately, the producer is a family friend and she begs to read for the part; of course her reading is spot-on and she waits to hear from her agent. She longs for the perfect role and the perfect real-life romance. Does happily ever after only exist in the movies? Meanwhile at her friend’s wedding she meets Jesse Gates. There’s an instant attraction between them which is only strengthened by the fact that he is a friend of Smitty’s as well. After a life-changing tragedy, MIT graduate Jesse Gates decides to leave his life in Boston behind and move to LA to try his hand at acting and screenwriting. When he finds a one-page letter from one of his ancestors, he becomes consumed with the love he finds there. Determined to help his grandfather find the happiness that for so long eluded him, Jesse writes and sells a screenplay based on the events surrounding the lost love of previous generations. His screenplay is based on a letter written by his 6x-great-grandfather (Hamilton Lightfoot) to his longtime love, Esther Longfellow during the American Revolutionary War. These two have grown up together and Hamilton has long harbored a deep love for Esther. The same is true for Esther although she can scarcely utter her feelings aloud because her father is a Loyalist supporting Britain in the war. In fact, Esther has recently returned from London where she made her debut into society. But her heart and soul are firmly entrenched in upcountry South Carolina. When the Revolutionary War comes to her doorstep she is forced to choose between devotion to her father and her love for Hamilton. More than anything, Esther longs for a love letter from Hamilton and she tells him this on the eve of his departure to join the Patriot troops. Jesse identifies with his ancestor in that he, too, is trying to find peace after a tragic ending to his last relationship. When Jesse meets the woman cast to play Esther Longfellow—his grandfather’s one true love—the stories of all four collide across time and space. The love letter from the past might have more power to affect the future than any of them could have imagined. As the movie shoot progresses, so does the relationship between Chloe and Jesse. There is a lot of coming together and drifting apart as each of them tries to come to grips with the past events of their lives. Their relationship has strong parallels to the relationship of Hamilton and Esther. And when each couple finally comes together, it is all thanks to the mysterious man in the brown suit who tells each of them simply, “Come, follow me”. When I began reading this story I thought I was going to get another Hollywood style boy-gets-girl romance. But The Love Letter is so much more. The character of Chloe has lived the past two years in the love of God, thanks to her friend Smitty. And while Jesse has lost his way since a tragedy eight years earlier for which he blames himself, his core faith, once buried, bubbles to the surface once more. I loved the dual love stories that were set centuries apart yet expertly intertwined. The pacing of the story was steady and kept me wanting to know more about Hamilton and Esther. The characters were wonderfully flawed, showing the many facets of humanity. This was one book I couldn’t put down. Too bad I let it languish on my bookshelf for 3.5 years. Review: Love through generations - Love how the history is interwoven in the present. Like the surprise at the end to bring true love together. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | #897,684 in Kindle Store ( See Top 100 in Kindle Store ) #740 in Christian Historical Romance #780 in Contemporary Christian Romance #1,357 in Christian Historical Fiction (Books) | ## Images ![The Love Letter: Sweeping, Split-Time Romance that blends Hollywood Glamor with Revolutionary War Intrigue - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71bztxqphtL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Dual Love Stories Hit Hollywood *by M***R on December 17, 2021* Chloe Daschle’s life is in a downward spiral.

Like the surprise at the end to bring true love together. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Time Changes Everything, Except Perhaps Love *by S***L on July 2, 2018* Rachel Hauck does it again, penning a contemporary/historical novel with two well-drawn couples worth rooting for. As is often the case, one story drew me more than the other--in this case, Chloe and Jesse's story. However, both halves together make an intriguing novel. The characters sometimes come off as a little two-dimensional, especially Jesse and Chloe, but perhaps that's because of the Hollywood environment where they find themselves. I personally loved the idea of one couple being the screenwriter and star for a film about the other. This only lends extra flavor to Esther and Hamilton's romance. While tragic in some ways, Esther and Hamilton's love story manages to be beautiful and raw at the same time. I particularly enjoyed their sparring as Esther determined which side of the Revolutionary War was hers. I wanted to see more of that. Chloe's arc is another one of the best parts of The Love Letter. It shows how well she and Jesse work as a couple, since his black moment feeds directly into her epiphany and triumph, and vice versa. You don't often see that kind of thing, even in the best romances, and I applaud Rachel for pulling it off. Some things in The Love Letter get too much or too little attention, or come off as confusing. For instance, there's a scene where Chloe and Jesse tell about their heartbreaks at the same time, and it's sometimes hard to keep up with whose story is whose, or who is talking at any given moment. There are also some fairly slow sections. However, The Love Letter is an enjoyable read and I look forward to more like it from Rachel Hauck. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.vu/products/111001702-the-love-letter-sweeping-split-time-romance-that-blends-hollywood](https://www.desertcart.vu/products/111001702-the-love-letter-sweeping-split-time-romance-that-blends-hollywood) --- *Product available on Desertcart Vanuatu* *Store origin: VU* *Last updated: 2026-10-18*
