Return to Sender is a heartwarming debut romance from Stephanie Parente about grief, sisterhood, unexpected love and the lengths we go to for the people we care about.

Twenty-six-year-old Violet is usually an optimist, but after the sudden death of her father and the responsibility of caring for her rebellious teenage sister, Phoebe, she is struggling to keep everything together.

Then Phoebe discovers a love letter that was never delivered and has been returned to their address. Written by the man who once lived in their apartment, the letter begs its intended recipient to give him another chance. When the discovery brings Phoebe a spark of excitement for the first time since their father’s death, Violet is determined to follow it wherever it leads.

Their search brings them to Dex, the letter’s abrasive and enigmatic author. Soon, Phoebe has convinced him to join them on a cross-country road trip to finally put the letter into the right hands.

As the miles pass and the trio make their way west, Violet begins to see another side of Dex beneath his guarded exterior. Their chemistry grows with every stop, but their destination is also leading them directly towards the woman Dex once loved.

What begins as an attempt to reunite someone else’s love story becomes a journey through grief, family and the possibility of finding something unexpected along the way.
