520 2  "A graphic designer's search for inspiration leads to a 
       cache of letters and the mystery of one man's fate during 
       World War II. Seeking inspiration for a new font design in
       an antique store in small-town Stillwater, Minnesota, 
       graphic designer Carolyn Porter stumbled across a bundle 
       of letters and was immediately drawn to their beautifully 
       expressive pen-and-ink handwriting. She could not read the
       letters--they were in French--but she noticed all of them 
       had been signed by a man named Marcel and mailed from 
       Berlin to his family in France during the middle of World 
       War II. As Carolyn grappled with designing the font, she 
       decided to have one of Marcel's letters translated. 
       Reading it opened a portal to a different time, and what 
       began as mere curiosity quickly became an obsession with 
       finding out why the letter writer, Marcel Heuze, had been 
       in Berlin, how his letters came to be on sale in a store 
       halfway around the world, and, most importantly, whether 
       he ever returned to his beloved wife and daughters after 
       the war. Marcel's Letters is the incredible story of 
       Carolyn's increasingly desperate search to uncover the 
       mystery of one man's fate during WWII, seeking answers 
       across Germany, France, and the United States. 
       Simultaneously, she continues to work on what would become
       the acclaimed P22 Marcel font, immortalizing the man and 
       his letters that waited almost seventy years to be 
       reunited with his family"--Provided by publisher.
