When famous writer Victor Esposito falls into a coma, the memories of a ten-year-old love affair come roaring back to Eva Abram’s mind, uprooting her quiet Long Island life.

Unlike “Finding Forever,” which is a period piece, “The Letter” is considered to be a contemporary work. According to the author, the book takes places in the late 1990s early 2000s, so more recent than not.

“The Letter” will be Sciarratta’s first fully published novel with Post Hill Press, as it was contracted from the start and never published anywhere else before. His first novel, “Finding Forever: A 1970s Love Story,” was self-published originally.
Sciarratta decided to include Middle Village by name is his second novel, where he describes some vivid imagery of his childhood home and Juniper Valley Park.
“The Letter” is available for pre order wherever books are sold in all formats, including audio book.
