The Letter Mary Colette

Despite the clear blue sky, a cloud hangs over Lynn Woods as a cold sense of foreboding descends upon her. Moments later, the postman delivers a letter from Drew Sommers, the married man she fell madly in love with before she met her current husband, Rob, and had two children. By the end of the three-year affair, each managed to break the other's heart. Now as she summons the courage to open the envelope, Lynn has no idea that she is about to embark on a twelve-month journey she never saw coming. After she reads the letter and learns that Drew has died and left her eight hundred thousand euros in his will, Lynn attempts to make sense of her muddled feelings that range from sadness to anger and from excitement to confusion and disbelief. After she discloses the news to her seemingly detached husband, Lynn meets Drew's solicitor where she is told the funds must be deposited in her name and that she must return to meet with him in a year. When the solicitor hands Lynn another letter from Drew, its contents send her on a spiral inward to reconcile her past and decide what to do with the present. But just as she ends the long journey a year later, a shocking surprise awaits.
