This is the story of a life-long friendship between two women. It begins with a bond formed in a moment of tragedy and conveys the power of love to heal a broken heart. In the last eleven months of her friend's life, the author wrote weekly letters. Through these letters, the author weaves moments of love and care and quotidian daily moments as her friend comes to terms with terminal brain cancer. Written during a global pandemic, the letters highlight the sense of isolation and despair of those who experienced physical separation from ill or dying loved ones. It is a love letter of admiration and gratitude and a memoir of the power of writing to navigate grief.
