What’s This Book About?
In the home where lonesome Hetta dwells, a crooked mile separates her from her nearest neighbor, and an even greater expanse keeps her apart from her only sister. As Hetta rocks and waits by her mailbox, a long, long letter from her sister embarks on a journey—adorned with a thousand stamps. Little does she know, the arrival of this cherished letter will unleash a whirlwind of unforeseen events!
