The Letter Sweater
ByPublisher Description
Sandra Mercer moves back to her childhood home hoping to seek refuge from a bitter divorce and to conceal a painful secret. She is shocked to find her youngest daughter, Carla, wearing the same letter sweater she wore when she was in high school -- a gift from Carla's old boyfriend Kevin Dawson. The sweater originally belonged to Jack Dawson, Sandra's high school and college sweetheart. Sandra and Jack had planned to wed as soon as he'd completed his military service. But fate would have its own way for the two lovers and a "Dear John" letter from Sandra, delivered just weeks before Jack was to return home, ended the dream they both had shared. For thirty years their paths never crossed. Now in the autumn of their lives, Sandra discovers that Jack, a retired TV personality, has returned home to write a book. She must now decide if she wants to deal with a love that has never gone away and a regret that that has punished her for a lifetime or to run away again.

Created over 14 years agoAbout Skip Crayton
Skip Crayton is a lifelong resident of New Bern, a small town in coastal North Carolina, located on the Neuse River, the widest river in America. An avid sailor, his love for the river is only exceeded by his passion for writing.
Upon graduating from New Bern High School, Skip entered the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill where he earned a Bachelor of Arts degree. After graduating from college, he married his high school sweetheart, Jane Cox, and then headed off for a short tour of duty in the United States Navy, where he learned to fly. With his military obligation complete, Skip joined his father in the family construction and land development business.
He started writing seriously in nineteen ninety-one. Over the last thirteen years, Skip has written one journal, two novels, and two short stories. His latest book, a love story titled The Letter Sweater, is now in the hands of his agent, who is actively seeking publication.
In nineteen ninety-eight, he was asked to write a column for The Trent Woods Times, a monthly published in his community. The success of that column led to a contract with his local newspaper, The Sun Journal, a daily with a circulation of over twenty-thousand.
Skip and Jane have been married for thirty-six years and have no children. They share their home with two Pekinese dogs, Thumper and Little Mutt, and two cats, Mister and Bob.
