Lonely, bored, and disappointed in Cornelia s lack of affection, Carl decides to answer an advertisement from the Serial-Letter Company, which promises real letters, delivering comfort and entertainment, from imaginary persons. Carl signs up for their love letter program, thinking he might have a bit of fun, and teach his fiancée a lesson in the process. But he never expects to be so utterly charmed and entertained as he is by his letter writer, Molly Make-Believe. As the winter drags on and Cornelia s letters grow sparse and impersonal, Carl and Molly strike up a lively correspondence, and he finds himself falling in love with her. Carl becomes determined to uncover Molly s true identity. But will she be everything he imagines her to be? Does she feel what he feels, or is she just playing a part? And what will Cornelia have to say about this when she comes home? Originally written in 1910 by one of the early twentieth century s most prolific romantic authors, Molly Make-Believe is a sweet, old-fashioned romance delivered with Eleanor Hallowell Abbott s sparkling wit and style, and sure to delight fans of classic romance.
