About the Book
In The Correspondent, author Virginia Evans introduces readers to Sybil Van Antwerp—a stubborn, cantankerous, and fiercely opinionated woman who has maintained a lifelong faith in the power of the written word. Through her letters to family and friends, Sybil's complex life and distinctive voice come vividly to light.
As time begins to run short, Sybil realizes the need for a few final post-scripts to the life she has led. She embarks on a mission to repair her difficult relationship with her children, take one last chance at romance, and seek atonement for an old legal case that has resurfaced to haunt her.
Yet to find true closure, Sybil must ultimately confront a devastating loss that she has held close to her heart for thirty years. The Correspondent offers a moving, character-driven story about forgiveness, secret grief, and the enduring strength of personal connection.
