A propos du livre

Biographie de l'auteur :

Jeanie Scouller Arthur (1863-1914) was born in Scotland and emigrated to the United States with her family. They moved to Des Moines where Jeanie met and fell in love with Frank G. Arthur. Jeanie was intelligent, well-read, and worked as a teacher while waiting to marry Frank and begin their pioneering life in Dakota Territory. They had seven children then divorced, leaving Jeanie to care for the children and keep the family together. The letters in My Dear Frank show Jeanie's younger, pre-marital perspective on the world. They drip with her optimism, love and strength--the attributes she clearly thought would be enough to sustain the marriage until death.

Présentation de l'éditeur :

These letters, From Jeanie Arthur to Frank Arthur, were written in the year of their engagement between July 1882 and May 1883. The correspondence served as the inspiration for their great-great granddaughter, Kathleen Shoop's, novel, The Last Letter. Her novel is fiction, of course, but these heartfelt, optimistic love words have their own story arc, and tell an old-fashioned love tale that has a surprisingly modern tone that deserves to see the light of day.
