As the Great War rages, an independent young woman struggles to sustain love—and life—through the power of words. It’s 1917 and America is on the brink of World War I. After Hensley Dench’s father is forced to resign from the New York Times for his anti-war writings, she finds herself expelled from the life she loves and the future she thought she would have.

Instead, Hensley is transplanted to New Mexico, where her father has taken a job overseeing a gold mine. Driven by loneliness, Hensley hijacks her father’s correspondence with Charles Reid, a young American medic with whom her father plays chess via post. Hensley secretly begins her own exchange with Charles, but looming tragedy threatens them both, and—when everything turns against them—will their words be enough to beat the odds?

Praise for This Is How I’d Love You:

“In This is How I’d Love You, Hazel Woods explores the enduring nature of an improbable love born of words, washed in tragedy, and sustained despite impossible circumstances. With prose as immediate and evocative as a painting, Woods accomplishes the magic of rendering sorrow into hope and fear into courage. It is as idealistic a tale as it is clear-sighted, a brilliant alchemy few novels achieve. Readers, prepare to melt” — Robin Oliveria, author of My Name is Mary Sutter

ThisisHowIdLoveYouThanks to Kathryn Santora of Plume | Hudson Street Press | Penguin Random House, I’m giving away one copy print copy of ‘This I How I’d Love You.

Book Description:

This month marks the centennial anniversary of the start of World War I. The war was marked with both terrible loss and incredible bravery. It is difficult to imagine that during this time there was still love, progress and joy – however author HAZEL WOODS has done just that. Her novel THIS IS HOW I’D LOVE YOU is a sweeping love story about Hensley Dench and her solider, Charles Reid.

America is on the brink of joining the war and Hensley, a 17 year old romantic with an independent spirit is on her way to New Mexico where her father has taken a job overseeing a gold mine. Forced to resign from his position at the New York Times for anti-war writings, Hensley finds herself also expelled from her exciting New York life and driven into loneliness as she heads west.

It is only after hijacking her father’s chess-by-post game with Charles Reid, a young American medic who chose to leave his family’s booming steel business and support the war efforts, does she begin to regain her zest for life. As Henley and Charles exchange intimate letters stitched together with words of hope and love, the treat of tragedy looms and they are afraid they may lose the greatest love they’ve ever known.

THIS IS HOW I’D LOVE YOU is a saga for the ages. It perfectly encapsulates WWI with vivid depictions of both life on the forefront and home front of war. With the centennial, Wood’s has created the perfect novel to commemorate the anniversary by transporting readers back to the 1900’s, filling hearts with a love story that transcends time and uses the power of words to sustain love and life.
