Editorial Reviews

From Library Journal

In January/February 2001, Lifetime television will air a series on "Love Letters of a Lifetime," which will end with a Valentine's Day special. This collection is a tie-in to the series. Although Dana Reeve writes in the foreword of the impact letters have had on the lives of herself and her husband, actor Christopher Reeve, the letters in the collection are not written by celebrities but by ordinary people. Some are modern e-mail romances, and quite a few are by people separated by military service. With a couple of exceptions, most are happily-ever-after stories; some are very touching, while others are downright na?ve and have nothing new to offer. Each love story is set up with a narrative about the people and the times. Buy for demand caused by television promotion.ALisa J. Cihlar, Monroe P.L., WI

From Booklist

As Valentine's Day approaches, what could be more appropriate than a compilation of love letters written by everyday people expressing their emotions to loved ones? The heartfelt letters run the gamut from WWII correspondence to modern Internet romance. Dana Reeve, wife of Christopher Reeve, provides the foreword, and a letter of her own written to her husband after his accident. Hers is just the first of many poignant letters that will touch the reader's heart. Each epistle is accompanied by a description of the couple and the circumstances that make their letter unique, and a follow-up that ultimately turns each account into a true-life short story. Some of the letters are more eloquent than others, but the sentiments are genuine and show that romance and true love are not only alive but expressed in a myriad of ways. With a tie-in to a Lifetime network television show, this book should generate interest and maybe inspire readers to write a few love letters of their own. Patty Engelmann

5.0 out of 5 stars What Stories, November 7, 2001

This review is from: Love Letters of a Lifetime: Romance in America (Hardcover)
Since our story is included in the book, we, of course, liked the book. In times of discontent, it is nice to be reminded through the telling of true stories, that love is alive and well.

This review is from: Love Letters of a Lifetime: Romance in America (Hardcover)
A collection of love letters from couples, that that wrote to each other from when they first started dating until now. My favorite were the letters that were from the older couples.
