Synopsis
Bookish Samantha has always hidden behind the words of others--namely, her favorite characters in literature. Now, as she discovers love beyond the pages of her favorite novels, she will learn to write her own story. Sam is, to say the least, bookish. An English major of the highest order, her diet has always been Austen, Dickens, and Shakespeare. The problem is, both her prose and conversation tend to be more Elizabeth Bennet than Samantha Moore. But life for the twenty-three-year-old orphan is about to get stranger than fiction. An anonymous, Dickensian benefactor (calling himself Mr. Knightley) offers to put Sam through Northwestern University's prestigious Medill School of Journalism. There is only one catch: Sam must write frequent letters to the mysterious donor, detailing her progress. As Sam's memory mingles with that of eligible novelist Alex Powell, her letters to Mr. Knightley become increasingly confessional. While Alex draws Sam into a world of warmth and literature that feels like it's straight out of a book, old secrets are drawn to light. And as Sam learns to love and trust Alex and herself, she learns once again how quickly trust can be broken. Reminding us all that our own true character is not meant to be hidden, Katherine Reay's debut novel follows one young woman's journey as she sheds her protective persona and embraces the person she was meant to become.

  • A Wonderful Read

    I have hesitated to compose my review because there is no way I can do this book justice! As soon as I finished reading it, I realized I had to REread it immediately (to gain Mr. Knightley's perspective of Samantha's letters, rather than just her own). And I did...and was even more impressed with Sam's self-disclosure and honesty. Hard to believe that this was Katherine Reay's first published book - it's a jewel. This is a book that will make you ache for every kid shuttled through the foster care system. But what about those kids as they age out? Where do they go, and what scars do they carry into adulthood?
