Pen Pal by J. T. Geissinger (Paperback)

Pen Pal by J. T. Geissinger begins with a letter that arrives at the most unexpected moment. On the day her husband is buried, a grieving widow receives a message postmarked from a state penitentiary. Inside is only a single line and a signature from a man she has never heard of.

Curiosity leads her to write back. The stranger, Dante, insists the letter was meant for her and claims he has been waiting. Confused but intrigued, she questions his intentions, certain he must have mistaken her for someone else. Dante refuses to accept that explanation, maintaining that she knows him even if she doesn’t realise it.

What begins as a brief exchange soon turns into a regular correspondence. Week after week, their letters grow longer and more personal, revealing thoughts and emotions neither expected to share with a stranger. The connection deepens, creating an unusual bond between two people who have never met face to face.

Then, without warning, the letters stop.

The silence leaves unanswered questions, and before she can understand what has happened, the truth arrives at her door. Dante is no longer just a name written at the end of a letter.

His sudden appearance changes everything, turning a strange and curious exchange into something far more complicated and unsettling than she ever imagined.
