Letters to Molly is an emotionally dense story line – one that examines all sides of Molly and Finn’s story as it explores the details of their growing love that solidified into a blissful marriage and a family they both desperately wanted to the missteps and heartbreak that seemed to take over their lives after the death of a loved one and the destructive path chosen to not only deal with said loss but also to attempt to move on from bad decisions and extenuating circumstances that altered the dynamics of their lives. The idea that two people who truly love each other, who seem made for one another, who are soulmates in every sense of the word struggle to stay together due to a litany of circumstances and external influencers is not necessarily a foreign concept to me, but it’s one that I find difficult to truly understand.Īnd I’m sure it makes me naive and in some ways impractical to believe that love should sustain even the most difficult of relationships, but I wholeheartedly feel that love should be enough, even when I’m confronted with contrary evidence to my claim. Patty Smyth’s “Sometimes Love Just Ain’t Enough” There’s a reason why people don’t stay where they are.

‘But there’s a danger in loving somebody too much,Īnd it’s bad when you know it’s your heart you can’t trust. The letters are full of promise, hope and love, but truth be told, Molly wishes she could unread them all.īecause the man who wrote these letters is not the one sending them. Each holds the confession of the man who still owns Molly’s heart. Each marks an event in the history of their epic love affair.

Penned in familiar handwriting, dated over fifteen years ago, the letter was written to Molly after her first date with the man she’ll never forget. Molly Alcott didn’t expect to open her mailbox one summer morning and find an old letter stuffed between bills and a supermarket flyer.
