The Noel Letters (The Noel Collection)

THE NOEL LETTERS, the fourth of Richard Paul Evans’s “Noel” novels, shares the inspiration, brilliance and family complexity of the first three, and then goes beyond in its dramatic exploration of a family misunderstanding that emotionally separates a father and daughter. Noel Book’s father owned a store that epitomized the complexity and excitement of small-town book shops across the country before online buying replaced the cruising through stacks of books - history, politics, novels, both frightening and romantic. Through her prolific reading Noel acquired the skills to become a successful editor of bestselling authors at a New York publishing house. She believed that her father was responsible for the death of her mother in a car accident, and while he was loved by all at his store and community, Noel blocked him from her heart.Learning he was on his death bed, Noel made the decision to visit him in the small Utah town where she grew up and re-explore her feelings. He passed before she arrived, but once there, she entered his world of staff and loving friends, even beginning a romance of her own. Mysteriously, she begins receiving beautifully written anonymous love letters that she believes are from the new beau. They touch her mind and heart, and she learns the true cause of her mother’s death, and its consequences to others. Learning to face the truth about herself as Christmas approaches offers new potentials of creative explorations and self-love. Many of us, myself included, have mastered the art of preserving misunderstandings about our family. THE NOEL LETTERS offers a powerful and dramatic guide to seeking and accepting truth.Norman in Reno

This was a beautiful book. I will purchase a hard copy as it touched me deeply. I will also give copies as gifts to friends and family alike.

Oh I liked this best of the Noel books. It gave me tears. I lost my father one month after forgiving him for his abuse of me. We cried together and I got to love him for a month. I’m so thankful I didn’t loose him before we reconciled. This wonderful book has renewed my joy that I cleared things with daddy before I lost him. Thank you Richard Paul Evans!!!

Another RPEvans beautiful stories. Easy to read, very touching.

The holiday season starts when I receive Richard Paul Evans’ Christmas book. Every year is a new story that captures your heart, and brings new characters to life. Their lives sometimes parallel our own, and we can relate to their circumstances.Beautifully written, the book could be read in one sitting, but I like to savor each chapter, and immerse myself in the story.This year’s book is The Noel Letters, and the reader is swept up in the life of an editor named Noel, born on Christmas Day. There are a few surprises in the book that aren’t expected, making the story even more meaningful.The best part of the book is the dialogue between characters. That is the hardest part of writing, I think, and RPE has a gift with dialogue. It moves the story along, and tells it at the same time. It’s like you’re there listening, but you can’t be seen. I love that.Treat yourself and buy a copy today. You’ll soon be getting his other books, too. They are that good.Happy reading!
