Dear Douglas
Dear Douglas by Eliza Beth Rawlins is one of those books that will tug at your heart. Almost everyone has a former love they have lost by one means or another. Once you start this book, you won’t want to put it down.
Julia Richard was engaged to Douglas Daugherty when he was killed in Viet Nam. After a time of grieving, she falls in love with Ian Collins. But she cannot leave her feelings for Douglas behind. To deal with this grief she writes a book in the form of letters that she wrote to Doug, before and after he died.
Will her letters have the cathartic result she wants so that she can finally leave her past behind her and go into the future with Ian? Her quandary is whether or not Ian will understand what she has to do.
She begins her book with the last letter.
“…This’ll be my last letter. I am not sure why I have continued to write but it kept me going day after day. So much of our life together was shared via the good old U.S. Mail.”
You will love reading this touching love story. It will bring back personal memories that you may have thought were had been long forgotten.
