The Last Letter (Letter #1)
Author: Kathleen Shoop
Desc: Katherine wouldn’t have believed it if she hadn’t found the letter... Katherine Arthur's mother arrives on her doorstep dying forcing her to relive a past she wanted to forget. When Katherine was young the Arthur family had been affluent city dwellers until shame sent them running for the prairie into the unknown. Taking her family including young Katherine to live off the land was the last thing Jeanie Arthur had wanted but she would do her best to make a go of it. For Jeanie's husband Frank it had been a world of opportunity. Dreaming lazy Frank. But it was a society of uncertainty—a domain of natural disasters temptation hatred even death.
Ten-year-old Katherine had loved her mother fiercely put her trust in her completely but when there was no other choice and Jeanie resorted to extreme measures on the prairie to save her family she tore Katherine’s world apart. Now seventeen years later and far from the homestead Katherine has found the truth – she has discovered the last letter. After years of anger can Katherine find it in her heart to understand why her mother made the decisions that changed them all? Can she forgive and finally begin to heal before it’s too late?
