“The Lost Letters From Martha’s Vineyard” is the title of a novel by Michael Callahan. In 1959 Mercy Welles, far removed from her Nebraska roots, has crafted herself into a glamorous Oscar-nominated actress engaged to an up-and-coming director. Then she vanishes without a trace. Sixty years later Kit O’Neill is packing up her recently deceased grandmother’s attic only to discover a box of souvenirs that reveal her grandmother was the mysterious Mercy Welles. Kit is determined to solve the riddle of her grandmother’s missing life. The trail leads her to Martha’s Vineyard – and the letters Mercy wrote the summer she disappeared.
