The Letter: a Page of My Life

In 2009, Aunt Neta, the last surviving sibling of Pam's manic-depressive mother dies. Upon her passing, several overstuffed boxes of memorabilia and other trivial articles are passed to Pam for disposition. Those boxes, brimming with rubbish, sat in Pam?s attic until a 2011 New Year's resolution starts her on the quest to remove the clutter. While sifting through the boxes of papers, letters, and pictures, Pam uncovers treasures she didn't know existed and evidence that the man she was told was not her father is more divinely entwined with her life than she could've imagined.

This short memoir, The Letter: A Page of My Life is a true story of separation, despair, grief, hope, and transformation, and a single enduring truth: Sometimes in order to love someone, you must let them go.
