Book #8 Hatbox Letters by Beth Powning I finished reading this book a few days ago and really enjoyed the writers descriptions. Saying that, I also felt that they were sometimes long and tedious. But then, the book is about grief and the way it changes but never goes away. The main character has lost her husband and her own identity. She works her way through by reading love letters from her grandfather to her grandmother finding out about their grief and how it affected their lives and hers. It was also about her great great grandparents. It just reminded me about how little we know about our relatives and their struggles. The story hit home with death, aging, retirement... on and on. We all are dealing with grief in one form or another.
