The Jessica Letters: An Editor's Romance

Paul Elmer More

American Literature, Novels, Romance

Two strangers, bound by the shared religion of literature. Jessica Doane, a young writer in Georgia, reaches out to Philip Towers, a New York editor, seeking literary counsel. What begins as professional correspondence becomes something else entirely: a tender, intellectual courtship conducted entirely through letters. Philip warns Jessica of the sacrifices demanded by a life of letters, yet his warnings carry the weight of someone who has already surrendered much. Jessica shares her fears, her visit to New York, her glimpses of the man behind the editor. Their letters weave humor with earnestness, philosophy with longing, as both grapple with whether ambition and love can coexist.
