A transatlantic love story revealed through 110 long-lost love letters from 1946 piques a granddaughter's curiosity into her lineage. The letters penned from her British war bride grandmother to her Canadian soldier grandfather inspires Carly to embark on a journey to the vibrant and historic London, England. Using the letters as her guide, she sets out to retrace the steps of her grandmother Rene, 67 years later, following the sights and sounds of the city and the mystery and magic of a connection to the past, herself, and the life stories of those she meets along the way. Life's Letter is a story to inspire the need to dip into the cherished past to better understand the present and reminds us that in times of uncertainty, connection, courage, and hope fuel the quest for love and adventure.
