Dear John is a phrase that was used in America during World War II. A phrase used to describe when a woman wrote a personal and romantic letter to their lover ending their intimate relationship. Letters that were soft and gentle or outright harsh and cruel but both with the same to say goodbye. Soldiers during World War II believed that receiving a Dear John letter from a beloved partner would cause them more damage than losing limbs from a bomb or potentially losing their life in war. Nothing hurts more than a broken heart. Dear John letters attack the male ego as the recipient is forced to acknowledge rejection and their role in such rejection. Author, Danielle Victor has compiled a multitude of Dear John letters in three the hello, the goodbye, and the letting go. This book of poetry takes the reader on a journey of falling in love, unrequited love, abuse, self- hatred, anger, sadness, amongst other devastating emotions but comes full circle to reflect on self love, forgiveness, and the overall power of love. The author has written her letters to her “Dear John” as we all, collectively, have one love that has forced us to find light in total darkness. Take a moment to answer this question, who is your “Dear John”? When you have your answer, may this book help you feel less alone and may it inspire you to find love even in a goodbye.
