Dear Jack,

When Alex is given the choice between writing a collection of poetry or writing a series of letters to an American soldier as part of an assignment for his English course, he chooses the letter writing task. Soon enough, he is paired with Jack Barakat, a young soldier who is currently serving overseas, who is glad to have some contact from the outside world.

Through their frequent letter exchanges, the pair develop a strong friendship. Though never in his wildest dreams did Alex think that it would turn into something more but, you know what they say...stranger things have happened.
