THE LETTERS is a true story, and one told through a sampling of the two thousand original love letters written between a Roman Catholic priest and a young woman half his age. The letters from this sampling are from 1966-69; they record the particular circumstances of the two main characters and how their lives were then intertwined.
In an atmosphere of ever-increasing love, Joe Curtin and Mary must face daunting challenges : in particular the devastation they will face because of Joe's rare, deadly cancer-- and consequently the very short time that remains for them to be together. Joe's mental anguish as he realizes that Mary and their two small children must face the future without him is brought into singularly sharp focus.
The publication is divided into thirteen segments; each is introduced by a letter written by Mary to their children as she is re-reading and arranging these letters that had been stored away for close to forty years.
Though this is an immensely sad story, it is also an inspiring window into intense love, great courage, and ultimate victory. This book will move you deeply as it turns its unique light on the glory of human love and determination in the face of almost insurmountable odds.
Joe Curtin, was born in USA in 1911, son of Daniel and Julia. He is the grandson of Arthur Curtin and Mary Riordan who married in Templeglantine, Co Limerick. The family also appears in Abbeyfeale Parish and in Brosna Parish, Co Kerry. This Curtin line is part of the DNA project from "Curtin Corner" (Kerry/Cork/Limerick corner) and is part of a large Curtin ancestral genealogy work.
