Letters of Love Betrayed
T0972772
Set against the harsh, sun-dried landscapes of South America, Letters of a Love Betrayed is a captivating tale about a young woman who follows the calling of her heart to unravel the truth behind the brutal deception that has been played upon her. The drama leaves no human emotion untouched: there is lust and greed, passion and pain, but also humour and kindness - and throughout it all runs the simple longing of the human heart for love.
