From Across the Room
Read the book that inspired the national charity Girls Love Mail. Self-indulgent young writer Thomas Gadwell has traveled from Boston to the new Hotel Del Coronado in California to eventually finish his novel when he meets the clever and headstrong Miss Mary Harting. directly Thomas tosses aside his literary pursuits for a charmed summer of romance that ends with the happy couple making future plans. However, Mary Harting is that the sole unmarried daughter of notorious railroad tycoon Charles Harting, and he has no intention of letting a useless wordsmith derail his own critical plans for Mary. The couple must continue a clandestine courtship, but Thomas' ingenuity has unexpected repercussions and he unwittingly uncovers a sinister plot of deception, greed, and blackmail. To win Mary, Thomas must step from the pages of the earth he creates to explore his own insecurities, battle against worldly corruption, and expose family demons.
Told through a series of clever, heartfelt, and interesting letters, From Across the space could also be a voyeuristic escapade that delights at every twist. Reflecting back to a time when letters were saved within the imagination of the reader, the lost art of letter writing brings to life the opulent Gilded Age and unfolds the universal passions of affection , ambition, and thus the resilient bonds of family.
