The Correspondent: The Letter That Answer Back

Some letters were never meant to be sent.

Some write back.

When Maya Calloway inherits her grandmother's cedar box, she finds it filled with decades of unsent letters and one blank page with her name already written on it. On impulse, she writes a single question into the dark.

By morning, something answers.

What begins as grief becomes something far more dangerous. Maya discovers she is the newest member of a secret sisterhood called the Keepers of the Word, a two-hundred-and-fifty-year-old lineage of women who learned that truth, written with complete honesty, carries a power beyond ordinary language. But someone inside the sisterhood has been poisoning that power for decades, stealing the most private letters of the most vulnerable women and using their deepest truths as weapons.

And Maya's mother may have died trying to stop her.

Part literary thriller, part ghost story, part love letter to the women who kept telling the truth when the world told them to be quiet, THE CORRESPONDENT is a novel about what we carry in silence, what we owe the dead, and what becomes possible when we finally write the thing we were most afraid to say.

The letters are waiting.

They have always been waiting.

For you.
