Letters for Sophie

Sophie Monroe finds herself stuck with one of the most difficult decisions a parent ever has to make: deciding what is best for her children. Does she leave her alcoholic husband and sacrifice the family life she never had, or does she stay with him and risk her children growing up knowing what he really is? Sophie’s greatest fear of all is turning into her mother—an overbearing, controlling, and demanding woman who selfishly split up their family and did all she could to keep Sophie away from her own father. Will her ultimate decision cause her children to resent her as she resents her mother? Sophie’s whole world is turned upside-down when her mother dies, leaving in her place a box of letters she wrote while Sophie was growing up. A new whirlwind of emotion hits Sophie while she fights with why her mother never had the courage to give her the letters in life, and as she finally gets to meet the wonderful woman she truly was. Through the letters, Sophie is taken back to a time where she once felt all alone and discovers the truth that was hidden from her for so long. In the end, it is the woman Sophie spent years avoiding that is there to give her the strength to do what is best. Sophie learns the hard way that sometimes you have to grow up to see the superhero within the villain.Letters for Sophie is a story about what we do as parents to protect our children, how those decisions shape their lives, and how youth can sometimes cloud our most precious memories.
