Seven years ago, Claire Bennett lost the one person who meant more to her than anything in the world—her little daughter. In the aftermath of that tragedy, the love of her life, Daniel Hayes, became the person she could no longer bear to look at.Grief turned into blame, silence replaced affection, and two people who once promised to grow old together became strangers. Daniel tried to explain himself, but Claire was too broken to listen. He eventually left her with the silence she seemed to want, carrying a letter she was never meant to go without reading.Now, years later, Claire has rebuilt her life. She is a successful therapist, independent and composed, and she has learned how to live with the pain she never truly overcame. Daniel has built a successful career of his own, but the past has never completely released him.Neither expects to meet again at an adoption information session. Neither expects the feelings they buried to still be there.As old memories resurface and unanswered questions begin to emerge, Claire and Daniel must confront the truth about what destroyed their family—and the letter that never reached her.But can two people who lost so much find their way back to each other? And when the truth finally comes to light, will love be enough to give them a second chance?The Letter Between Us is a story about grief, forgiveness, buried truths, and a love that never quite learned how to say goodbye.
