Founder of Letters Through Time ~ Across the Distance
For as long as she can remember, Cordelia Grace Fairborne has lived with one foot in the present and one tenderly planted in the past. A lifelong genealogist, she spent years gathering names, dates, and documents — but felt a quiet ache that the records alone could never fill. She longed not just to trace her ancestors, but to hear them, to step into their kitchens and fields and ship decks, to breathe their world, and to understand the lives behind the ink.
That longing grew into a vision:
What if history could speak again — not from textbooks, but through letters as intimate and alive as those once carried by hand across distance and time?
What if ordinary men and women, long silent in the archives, could share their stories in their own voices once more?
From this dream came Letters Through Time ~ Across the Distance — a historical letter subscription connecting modern readers with real ancestors, real journeys, and real moments that shaped families and nations.
Each letter is a work of historical fiction grounded in fact — a careful blend of documented events, authentic daily life, and imaginative voice. The characters are inspired by real ancestors, and their stories are rooted in real history, but the letters themselves are creative reconstructions, crafted to bring forgotten lives to life again.
Cordelia’s work blends:
- meticulous genealogical research,
- historically faithful letter-writing,
- and a deep desire to honor the people whose courage, faith, love, and losses echo into our lives today.
Every letter is crafted to feel as though it truly crossed centuries to reach your hands — handwritten feel, vintage textures, a wax seal, and the quiet hush of a story finally being told.
Cordelia believes that letters carry something no other medium can: the voice of a life once lived. A voice that still has meaning. A voice worth preserving.
Through these living histories, she hopes you will find connection, comfort, and a renewed sense of wonder at the people who came before us — the ones whose footsteps still lead toward our own.
“Cordelia Grace Fairborne is a pen name used for privacy and creative expression. All letters and materials are original works crafted under this artistic identity.”
