Since she was orphaned years ago, Carlie and Mitch have lived together like brother and sister. When sixteen year old Carlie learns that her older cousin Mitch is staying in Israel to study at an Orthodox yeshiva, she is upset and angry. Laura can’t stop, not until she knows the truth about everything even if it kills her. But Laura’s search for answers becomes an obsession. What would prompt her mother to write Megan now? And what did she mean by ‘forgiveness’? If Laura can unveil the mystery behind the letter, maybe she’ll also unveil the mystery that was and still is her mother. Written the day before her mother’s death, it’s addressed to someone named Megan and speakes vaguely of ‘forgiveness.’ Laura’s never heard of Megan, but Megan and Laura’s mother appear to have been childhood friends who hadn’t spoken in twenty five years. Then Laura finds a letter that raises more questions than it answers. So Laura lies in her mother’s bed, puts on her lipstick, reads her letters anything to answer Laura’s questions and end her unbearable loneliness. It’s made Laura realize she hardly knew her mother, and that can never be fixed. Her mother’s death has left a void in her. But for Laura, nothing is helping or healing. Time will heal.’ That’s what people promised.
