The Noel Letters
By Richard Paul Evans
This is a heartwarming, uplifting Christmas fiction, that is so needed during these stressful days of 2020. Noel Post, formerly Noel Book, was a book editor for a major New York publishing house. Her life seems to be doing well, until everything comes crashing down. She is recently divorced, she loses her apartment, and she loses her job as an editor. When she gets a call that her estranged father is dying and wants to talk to her, she flies home for the first time in two decades. When she gets home, she finds out her father left her his bookstore, a special collection of books, and a one million dollar life insurance policy. Not only that, but she is getting some anonymous inspirational letters, signed Tabula Rasa, which means Clean Slate. While working at the bookstore she meets a lot of her father’s friends who tell her stories of her father that she didn’t know. Noel is starting to learn that things are not always as they seem, especially when she has based her life off misguided childhood memories. Will she find it in her heart to forgive her father? Or will she go back to New York and pick up where she left off? I hope you enjoy this story as much as I did. Merry Christmas!
