The Letter, the final book of the Christmas Box collection is, most simply stated, the love story of David and MaryAnne Parkin. But it is also everyone's love story, for it is about the storms that all relationships must face when the blissful state of romance vanishes into one of real-life challenges and difficulties.

Of course, it hits the ground square and all my cards pop out, making for a minor inconvenience and pretty hilarious episode. I pick up everything and get back up, continuing my conversation.

Als sie in der Zeitung die Anzeige der alten Dame Mary-Ann Parkin lesen, die während der Adventszeit Hilfe für Haushalt und Garten sucht und dafür eine Wohnung bietet, müssen sie nicht lange überlegen. Bald schon ziehen sie in der vornehmen Villa der Witwe ein. Zufällig findet Richard auf dem Dachboden eine kleine, kunstvoll verzierte Schatulle.
