From the USA Today Bestselling author of A Bramble House Christmas, a Hallmark Channel original movie, C.J. Carmichael proves love letters still have their magic with her charming multigenerational love story that fans of Letters to Juliet and Definitely, Maybe won't be able to resist.

Finding old love letters in her father’s closet inspires a teen to play matchmaker.

Jessica Shanahan is off to college next year, but she’s worried about leaving her father, Levi Shanahan, alone. He’s been a single dad since his wife died when Jessica was only a toddler. He reassures her that he’s too busy running his family general store, taking care of his aging parents and volunteering in the community to be lonely. But Jessica has her doubts—especially when she finds old love letters from his high school sweetheart.

Travel photographer Grace Hamilton is promoting her latest book when a student from her hometown reaches out about a research project. Curious, Grace meets with her and when the teen invites her to the Woodland Foliage Arts Festival, Grace accepts. Though her career’s been successful and fulfilling, she’s never met a man who touched her heart the way Levi Shanahan once did. Maybe a trip home will finally help her to move on and find the one thing that’s eluded her throughout her years of travel—love.

Always a good feeling to pick up a book by @cj_carmichael. I love her writing, the stories she creates, and the characters she creates. This was such a good read of a second chance romance. High school sweethearts who didn’t last the long- distance romance. Years later are reconnected. She has a very successful career and travels a lot. He is immersed in his small hometown. Liked how they reconnected and worked their way to their HEA. I loved that the daughter wanted to help her dad find happiness & love before she left for college. I also like the small secondary plot of the daughter and her good friend.

4.0 out of 5 stars Deliciously sweet and heartwarming story about second chances
Reviewed in the United States on September 23, 2021
Received an Advance Reader Copy in exchange for a fair review
Deliciously sweet and heartwarming story about second chances, featuring mature characters that maintain a refreshing innocence, “Letters from Grace”, by C.J. Carmichael (Tule Publishing), is a quick and very enjoyable read.
Levi and Grace are wonderful, complex characters, both having sort of given up on romance. The second chance for the star-crossed lovers is prosaically plotted by a devoted daughter and there’s some simplicity about it, but also youthful candidness.
Levi is a small-town store owner with hidden interesting artistic talents. A caring father and son and basically a very decent person, he can be sometimes a bit cold with the heroine (a defense mechanism, I guess).
Grace is a great character, too, the talent and fame coexisting with a charming guardedness and shyness.
I liked that Grace’s beauty and Levi’s handsomeness and athleticism weren’t constantly thrown at us, readers, but subtlety shown.
Jessica, Sam and the other supporting characters are also interesting.
Some antinomies and conflicts – small-town America versus big city, the creative versus the practical individual; choosing family and stability over vocation and uncertainty – are handled in the story, which feels a bit schematic at times but still is an utterly romantic read.

I love everything about this book! The concept, characters, location were great. For a couple of minutes it seemed that Grace and Levi would not get their second chance. Levi is an amazing dad, and Jess is so great.

Letters From Grace by C J Carmichael
Finding old love letters in her father’s closet inspires a teen to play matchmaker.
Jessica Shanahan is off to college next year, but she’s worried about leaving her father, Levi Shanahan, alone. He’s been a single dad since his wife died when Jessica was only a toddler. He reassures her that he’s too busy running his family general store, taking care of his aging parents and volunteering in the community to be lonely.

Though her career’s been successful and fulfilling, she’s never met a man who touched her heart the way Levi Shanahan once did. Maybe a trip home will finally help her to move on and find the one thing that’s eluded her throughout her years of travel—love.
This is Grace Hamilton and Jessica Shanahan and Levi Shanahan's story.
As Jessica Shanahan pulled her father’s old college yearbooks from a storage container in their attic, she noticed a shoebox amid the rest of his college memorabilia. On the lid in neat round letters—her father’s script when he was printing—was the word “Grace.”
Jessica set aside the pile of yearbooks and lifted the lid. Inside was a stack of letters addressed to her father at his former residence hall at the University of Vermont. As she flipped through the letters, she saw that all the letters—except the final one—were from the same person: Grace Hamilton.
When Jessica was only two her mother, Maggie, was killed in a car accident. Her dad had often told her the story of meeting her mom in his first year of college, how it had been love at first sight, and that he considered himself the luckiest of men when he asked Maggie Brown to marry him and she told him yes.
Levi Shanahan generally enjoyed the walk home from work. His route took him down Main Street, past the library and the elementary school, then finally to Lincoln Avenue. Here the sugar maples grew so tall and full that their branches arched over his head. Today the red tinge of the leaves told him, better than a calendar, that autumn was finally here. He could see the evidence, too, in the front yards of his neighbors as he walked by. Formerly lush flowers in front gardens and pots had grown leggy and were beginning to brown.
Autumn was a beautiful time in Woodland. But this year he welcomed the season with mixed emotions. This was the last fall he’d have Jessica home with him. A year from now he’d be heading for an empty house. Levi didn’t know how he was going to manage. He hadn’t expected to still feel so young at this point in his life. But then, he’d only been twenty when Jess was born. Only two years older than she was right now.
He liked Jessica’s friend—boyfriend?—Max a lot. But he hoped Jess was at least in her mid-twenties before she thought of marriage.
Photojournalist Grace Hamilton smiled at the gentleman who had just asked her to sign four copies of her newest book, National Park Birds and Their Stories. He was planning to give them to his adult children for Christmas and she had individually inscribed each book.
“I hope they enjoy them, Mr. Bronson.”
“I’m sure they will. We’re real nature lovers in our family. And I’ve always loved your work for Audubon.”
Grace didn’t try to rush the chatty gentleman, even though people were lined up through the front door and down Broadway for two whole blocks.
I highly recommend reading.
Letters From Grace by C J Carmichael is a wonderful well written 5 star book.
I am looking forward to reading more books by C J Carmichael.
I received a complimentary copy of the book and was under no obligation to post a review.

4.0 out of 5 stars Lovely Second Chance
Reviewed in the United States on September 23, 2021
Letters From Grace by C.J. Carmichael has a daughter looking for love, love for her father that is. I have read books where children wanted a mother or father in their life but that is not the case for this story. The daughter is nearly grown but worries her widowed father will become lonely. What a lovely premise for a story. It is also told so well too.

The finding of letters, the subtle invitation and the connection that follows. While it doesn’t happen quite that easily for Jessica Shanahan to execute, it is a lovely story as Levi Shanahan and Grace Hamilton reunite. Much more to this story as they examine their past choices, where they are now and how brave they are for choices in the future. Well worth the read.

An ARC of the book was given to me by Tule Publishing which I voluntarily chose to read and reviewed. All thoughts and opinions are my own.
