Alice’s older brother ran away when he was fifteen years old. Alice always thought that she would see him again, she even thinks from time to time that she sees him on the street….
After his funeral, Alice cleans out her family home and finds a box of letters addressed to various people, some she knows and some she does not. One question she wants to know is why there was no letter for her. Alice begins to deliver the letters and begins to slowly learn certain truths about her brother, her family, and even herself.
Although we really do not see Rob much in this story – apart from the very beginning, the Author does a great job of giving us a glimpse into his life, his thoughts, and actions. As Alice begins to deliver the letters, she learns her brother’s reasons for running away, truths about his death and some family secrets.
I found this to be a thought provoking and well written book. Like Alice, I was curious about the letters and why he chose to write to the people he did. I also enjoyed watching as Alice became more determined and made some important decisions about her life as well. A gripping tale about relationships, family, secrets, illness, love and death.
