Book Description
"Before my grandmother, there was Anna." So begins the true story of a family secret, a trunkful of hidden letters, and a love story buried away for almost a century. In 1894 Roy and Anna graduated from high school and begin writing hundreds of love letters to each other until 1898, when Anna died, suddenly and tragically. Roy was devastated. Even after he married, he grieved every year on the anniversary of Anna's death. The letters lay hidden for decades, until his granddaughter brought them out of the shadows. Who was Anna - the woman Roy loved so deeply that he mourned her even after his 63-year marriage to someone else? This is Anna and Roy's story - a snapshot in time in the waning days of the Gilded Age; a love story for the ages. In Anna's words: "We will write as often as we must, for we are never going to be tired of each other, if we live a thousand years."

As a child, Anna Logan lives securely with her grandfather in Kentucky. He speaks lovingly of her mother, who died shortly after Anna was born, but refuses to talk about her father, telling her only that he never came back from the war. She longs for the day when he'll finally answer all her questions. But when she's nine years old, her grandfather dies, taking the secret of her father with him to the grave. Alone in the world, Anna must adjust to life at an orphanage. As a teenager, she travels to Colorado with a local family to help them at their boardinghouse.
