Dear Missing Friend
by Susan McGuirk 
Category: Women's Historical Fiction, Ebook
Praise Dear Missing Friend is a genuinely compelling pick. It’s the kind of book that stays with you—not because of grand plot twists, but because of the quiet, deeply human moments that shape Catherine’s path.” — The Gloss Book Club |
ABOUT THE BOOK
Three hearts. Countless letters. One impossible choice.
Through letters exchanged across oceans and Manhattan streets, Irish immigrant Catherine McGuirk navigates love, ambition, and heartbreak. Torn between her seafaring husband, the suitor she once refused, and her own dreams, Catherine’s fate unfolds in an intimate, epistolary saga of passion, resilience, and 19th-century life.
