I almost didn’t read this because everyone was suggesting it to me and I was feeling obstinate and I’m so glad I got over myself and picked it up. Made me cry multiple times, and made me look at the work in my life through a new perspective.

“I almost didn’t read this book bc the cover art is giving stationary aisle at Michael’s. But I adored every morsel of this highly literary & epistolary gem. I cried 5x”

“Five million stars? I learned so much about family, aging, friendship and life from Sybil. She is a kindred spirit, I have loved writing and receiving letters and embarked on a letter a day project only a few years ago. Oh, if this book renews the beauty of the written letter! Read this for the love and wit of Sybil, come away with the lessons of aging and forgiveness. I loved it.”
