Karissa Godfried started writing to Staff Sgt. Lane Huff because his sister asked her to. She had
no idea what they would "write" about but she did it. To her surprise, the Marine answered her
letters from halfway around the world. And, before long, Karissa started to think of Lane as much
more than just a pen pal.
Staff Sgt. Lane Huff was serving a deployment in Afghanistan when he started receiving letters
from Karissa, a friend of his sister's. Leave it to family to try and fix him up even when he was
thousands of miles away and trying to focus on his mission. But after writing to Karissa for
months, Lane wondered if loving her wasn't the best mission he could ever sign up for.
Can love start on paper, bloom during emails, and be delivered by a Covert Santa?
