I distinctly recall an audible gasp across the newsroom, all for different reasons of course. I remained quiet, but my jaw dropped.

A little girl grew up to write empowering books for women

My dear cousin unearthed this in her parent’s home, long since unoccupied. She and her siblings were doing the heavy lifting of cleaning out their childhood home after the death of their mother, my aunt. Look what she found? A letter I wrote to her 42 years ago—dated 1982.
