Letters to the Lost by Brigid Kemmerer tells the poignant story of Juliet Young, who has always written letters to her mother, a world-famous photojournalist. Even after her mother’s death, Juliet continues to leave letters at her grave. It’s the only thing that helps her cope with the loss.

Declan Murphy is the sort of guy you wouldn't want to cross. In the midst of his court-ordered community service doing landscaping at the local cemetery, he bears the weight of ghosts from his own past.

When Declan finds a haunting letter left beside a grave, he can't resist the urge to write back. Soon, he begins sharing his pain with a perfect stranger, and somehow, he feels like he might be helping her too. Except they're not truly strangers, and when real life interferes with their secret life of letters, sparks will fly as Juliet and Declan discover truths that might tear them apart.
