Letters to My Yesterday
At the age of ninety-two, Marie runs a much-loved café from the house her single mother Rose built in the 1920s. A warm and welcoming refuge for many, Marie is determined not to let a downward spiral in her health get in the way of her busy life helping others.
Dee, the highly respected principal of a local public school, is facing the biggest challenge of her career – launching an interfaith curriculum to an unwelcoming school community. But will her own background as a Lebanese Muslim immigrant work against her?
Isla, the young marketing guru tasked with helping Dee launch the campaign, has suffered the greatest loss of all, and is haunted by a devastating secret from her past.
Letters to My Yesterday is a moving and tender portrayal of female strength, hardship and friendship, and that beautiful moment when someone comes into your life at just the right moment, and changes it forever.
‘A heartwarming story of friendship, courage and the things that unite us all.’
— Fiona Higgins, Bestselling Author of The Mother’s Group
‘With her four main characters so intimately and realistically drawn, you’re certain to come across some of your own experiences of womanhood mirrored in the pages, making the story both relatable and deeply moving, and Karyn explores the themes of love, loss, family and friendship with nuance and skill.’
