The Correspondent: A Novel

The Transformative Power of the Written Word

Discover an intimate novel about the beauty of slowing down to reconnect with the people we love. Filled with knowledge that only comes from a life fully lived, this gem of a novel explores the power of finding solace in literature and forging connections with people we might never meet in person. It is a profound reflection on the hubris of youth, the wisdom of old age, and the mistakes and acts of kindness that define a lifetime.

The story follows a distinguished former lawyer, mother, and grandmother who has spent her life using letters to make sense of the world and her place in it. Every morning, she sits down to write—to family, to friends, to famous authors to share her thoughts on their latest books, and to one specific person to whom she writes often but never sends the letter.

Expecting her world to go on as it always has, her life is upended when letters from someone in her past force her to examine one of her most painful periods. She soon realizes that the letter she has been writing for years must finally be read, and that she cannot move forward until she finds it in her heart to offer true forgiveness.
