Mark Button and his wife eagerly await the birth of their first child — or rather, children, as Ronnie is pregnant with triplets. However, Mark’s hopes and dreams are dashed in one horrible moment, when — on Mother’s Day — Ronnie tragically dies without warning. Then Mark meets Diane, and in time they build a new life together — never forgetting how precious and delicate life can be. Desiring to always "be there" for their first child, they write her letters — the first within hours of her birth. The envelope simply states, "To be opened on the day your first child is born." Mark and Diane have continued this tradition, and now each of their three children has a Letter Box filled with special memories and encouragement for the future. Complete instructions for creating personalized Letter Boxes are included.
The Letter Box

This review is from: The Letter Box: A Story of Enduring Love (Hardcover)
Dian and Mark Button have written an extremely rewarding story. The most amazing part is that it is true! I believe books, like people, can come into our lives at certain times for a reason. This is a book that showed up and changed my life. It is a story that is as good as any intensely romantic novel. And.... the book offers a path that can change your life, and the lives of your ancestors, for generations to come. Page by page, Diane and Mark share a story that is a keen, honest observation of their struggles, pain, joys and humanity. Although I read it in one sitting, it is a journey worth savoring because the final destination is worth it. I highly recommend it.

The Letter Box,
By A Customer
This review is from: The Letter Box: A Story of Enduring Love (Hardcover)
This is an exceptional love story. It's like the Bridges of Madison County, only better because this story is true. And it tells us a process that can affect and change those lives around us. By writing letters and telling the ones we loves the importance of their lives in ours, we are creating bonds and memories that will last for generations. I can't wait to start doing this with my own daughter.

Picked up an autographed copy of this book for Mom for Christmas. I was bored later that day and started reading it and couldn't put it down. I cried and smiled and in the end, was inspired to create my own letter boxes for my loved ones. Get this book!
