When Queenie Hennessy discovers that Harold Fry is walking the length of England to save her, and all she has to do is wait, she is shocked. Her note had explained she was dying. How can she wait? A new volunteer at the hospice suggests that Queenie should write again; only this time she must tell Harold everything. In confessing to secrets she has hidden for twenty years, she will find atonement for the past. As the volunteer points out, 'Even though you've done your travelling, you're starting a new journey too.' Queenie thought her first letter would be the end of the story. She was wrong. It was the beginning.

A wonderful companion to The Unlikely Pilgrimage of Harold Fry, it answers some questions from that book while being a well realized story unto itself.

A parallel tale to Harold Fry. Live how the characterization is so spot on. The idea of multiple perspectives and how we’re always missing all the details and only know what we’re told.

And most of all it is about finding joy in unexpected places and at times we least expect.
