The Correspondent by Virginia Evans

The story centers on Sybil Van Antwerp, a sharp-witted 73-year-old retired lawyer, divorcee, and avid gardener. Every morning, she makes sense of the world in the only way she knows how—by writing letters: to her brother, her best friend, her favorite authors, and to one person whose letter she has never been able to send.

As she navigates the practical challenges of aging, letters from her past force her to reexamine a period of immense pain. To move forward, she realizes she must confront old wounds and find it in her heart to offer forgiveness.
