The Letter of Apology

Marguerite Thibodeaux left Bayou Chêne at twenty-two and never looked back. Then a letter arrives, postmarked the day she left, and she reads the apology Julian Broussard was never brave enough to send. Now she's back — hired by his granddaughter to catalog the family library before Julian dies, in the house where his mother once told her she wasn't enough. Julian apologizes. Marguerite leaves. He apologizes better. She stays. A tender, aching grovel second chance small town novel about letters that arrive too late, forgiveness that arrives right on time, and a library that outlives them both.
