description: The 7th Letter combines the romance of a Nicholas Sparks novel with the gut-wrenching realities of war in a story of hope and heartbreak.
  Despite being kicked out by an abusive father and ineffectual mother at age sixteen, Jason Fontaine has managed to survive and retain his confidence and idealism.
  Footloose and fancy free at twenty-four, a chance encounter with Jade Price, a beautiful young woman cast adrift by the death of her father, changes all of that.  Jason soon finds himself wooing Jade in a passionate romance that neither of them could have imagined.
  But World War II is raging across Europe and Jason is wrenched away from Jade and plunged into the cruelty and viciousness of war.  Only his love for Jade sustains him as he struggles to survive, the thought of returning to her the only thing that keeps him from total despair.
  As the war winds down to its final conclusion will their love survive or become another of the war’s tragic casualties?
