The Travel Letters

Distressed by her neglected and tragic childhood, Avalon Foster was determined to turn her life around. “It could always be worse.” These were words she came to live by at an early age. She was unable to predict that the worst was yet to come.

Abandoned as a child, Avalon vowed never to leave her own children without words of substance from her. So, she wrote letters for her children each time she was away from home for her archaeological work. Crafted by love and thoughtfully penned, they were then kept, unread, upon her safe return. Her well-intentioned writings would ultimately neutralize a family mystery, guide the return of an old college friend, and reveal a past to possibly everyone but her, the very woman who had been committed enough to record them.

The course of her life would ebb and flow as she lived it, but her travel letters would provide documentation, direction, inspiration, and a chain of unexpected revelations for those she loved. Would Avalon be able to witness the good life she had worked to create? Or would everything spiral in another direction — one in which she was not allowed to go?

The Travel Letters is a great choice for readers who value carefully selected words and wisdom that can reveal itself in the lives of everyday people who, in spite of their surroundings, continue their efforts to improve.
