Until letters from someone in her past force her to examine one of the most painful periods of her life.Now, Sybil must send the letter she has been writing for all these years - and find forgiveness within herself in order to move on.Sybil Van Antwerp's life of letters might be 'a very small thing', but she also might be one of the most memorable characters you will ever read.*Over 90,000 five-star reviews on Goodreads*
