Fiction

Nineteen year old Rhea Farrell carries the scars of a childhood accident where she lost her arm. But Rhea also carries scars that aren't so visible - the death of a mother she hardly remembers and the impact of her father's drinking. When Rhea finds herself alone and homeless on the streets of New York she turns to the person she always wished she could turn to - her mother. And just like she used to do as a little girl, she starts to write her letters - to tell her the things she can't tell anyone else, to share her fears, to ask for help. Rhea's journey brings her deeper into her mother's past where she uncovers some buried family secrets. And as she finds out more about the woman her mother truly was, Rhea discovers too, just what kind of woman she wants to be. And that it's never too late to say goodbye...
