Description
If you found a box of letters written during World War II—would you read them? And what if you did and discovered an amazing story about unrequited love, betrayal, and murder in a small southern town?
A young lawyer meets Emily Hodge, a 75-year-old spinster shunned by her hometown society, and can't understand why she lives such a solitary and seemingly forgotten life. But the letters she leaves for him reveal how her choices caused her to be ostracized—but definitely not forgotten by those who loved her.

Thanks for the copy. This is a book set in the 1940's when racial issues were at the forefront. The author told the story through letters of a white girl who had a black girl as a boyfriend and a best friend. The way this story was told I learned a lot about racism.
