Did anyone else have trouble understanding the necessity for including the letters from Elizabeth back in the post-Civil War Era and their significance in the present day story?

Rodney R. Notice that the character's names in both the historic and the current time storylines are essentially the same: Jack the boarder and Jack the boyfriend; Libby and Lily (both nick names for Elizabeth); and Phinneas and Finn. So obviously the author intends for these to be parallel stories, but to what end? I am also confused.

Allison Kuznia Yes. I actually came on here to try to see if anyone could help me understand.
Laurel Matsudaira Yes, I expected some tie in or lesson derived that would fit in with the modern story. I do love her writing and sense of humor.
