From the author of the 2 million+ copy,
When Queenie Hennessy discovers that Harold Fry is walking the length of England to save her,
A new volunteer at the hospice suggests that Queenie should write again; only this time she must tell Harold everything. In confessing to secrets she has hidden for twenty years,
Queenie thought her first letter would be the end of the story. She was wrong. It was the beginning.
