Paper Chains
Book Feature - Paper Chains by Nicola Moriarty
HBL Note: The synopsis of this book reminded me of that movie Serendipity, when the girl writes her phone number in a book and if that book makes it back to the guy then he can give her a call.

Anyway, in this book India writes a letter and instead of mailing it in the conventional way, it is instead being passed by hand between strangers until it reaches its destination. It seemed a little serendipitous to me - like if it actually reaches its destination then it was meant to be. Scroll down to read more about this book.

And who knows where it will lead…
Before the letter with India’s deepest, darkest secret reaches its destination, can the women find the connection that will take each of them exactly where they need to go….
