Winter is approaching, and with it, an elderly woman's death. Everything is in order, except her affairs of the heart. She sits at her desk, composing the final chapter of her life---a confession---a letter to the granddaughter she raised, now estranged and living in far-off America. In it is a story of love, death and propriety, of words unspoken, of lives wasted, of secrets she had vowed to take to her grave but must now share to heal lives mortally wonded by a lie. It is the ultimate gift of love and liberation, from one woman to another--a raod map straight to the center of ourselves, where we can gather the courage to follow our hearts.
