Vancouver, British Columbia Aug 20, 2026 (Issuewire.com) - Now available on YouTube, the video serves as a musical companion to the books, echoing their themes of love, faith, and resilience across a lifetime.
Written as a musical interpretation of the series’ central relationship, “An American Girl” follows a couple through loss, fear, distance, and wartime separation while emphasizing spiritual devotion, perseverance, and lasting connection.
Naomi Main’s series—An American Girl: The Letters Between Us and An American Girl: The Letters He Never Sent—draws on the real letters and experiences of Mark Main and Sharon Sholl, two young people from small-town Maryland whose relationship began in the late 1960s. Their courtship unfolds through letters exchanged while Mark serves in the Army, including a deployment to Vietnam, as distance, uncertainty, and military service shape their relationship. Grounded in Christian faith, the series follows Mark and Sharon beyond their courtship and into marriage, family life, decades of partnership, and ultimately loss.
The accompanying song carries Mark and Sharon’s story beyond the page, translating their documented experiences into a musical reflection on enduring love and spiritual commitment. It also reflects Main’s devotion to her husband alongside her faith in God. As she explains, “I can sing the song to my husband; I can sing the song to the Lord God.”
Naomi Main draws on her own life and the letters exchanged with her late husband, Mark, in writing the An American Girl series. She lives in the home they shared, where their life together continues to inform her writing.
The official lyric video for An American Girl is now streaming on YouTube. The two-book series will be available on Amazon and other major online bookstores in the coming weeks.
