Claire Harper wraps up a hard day of work with a jog
through Mulberry Park. Her workout is so much more than an
effort to stay in shape. She runs to find a respite from
the grief that has enveloped her since the death of her
young son, but she never manages to alleviate the pain or
the haunting memories of that fateful day . . . until she
finds a little girl’s letter to God perched in a tree.
On impulse, Claire writes back, and the little girl’s
letters gradually draw Claire into the companionship of
other Mulberry Park regulars—all, in their own way, in need
of comfort. As the strangers’ lives and hearts intersect
and friendships grow, each discovers just how far and how
high one simple letter can reach.
