52 People, Letters: A Year of Writing to the People Who Shaped Your Life

Some people changed your life without knowing it. Some deserve a thank-you you never sent. Some you haven't spoken to in years. Some are still beside you, waiting to hear what you rarely say out loud. 52 People, 52 Letters gives you one person to write to each week for a year - and the prompts to help you remember, reflect and find the words. Every week follows the same simple structure: - The person - who came to mind, and why- Before you write - five questions to bring back details you had forgotten- The letter - two full pages, left blank for you- What happened next - sent, given, read aloud, or kept just for youA few of the 52 people you will write to: - A teacher you still remember- Someone you should have thanked a long time ago- The person you were at 18- Someone you haven't seen in ten years- Your child ten years from now- Someone who helped you through a difficult time- Your future self at 80- And, in week 52, someone only you could chooseOne important rule: writing the letter is the challenge. Sending it is always your choice. Some letters reconnect you with someone. Some start a conversation that was years overdue. And some do their work without ever leaving the page. Inside: - 52 unique weekly prompts - no repetition, no filler- A "My 52 People" index to track what you wrote, sent and kept- An end-of-year reflection and a "Letters I Still Want to Send" page- 240 pages, 6 x 9 inches, generous writing spaceA meaningful gift for a mother, a sister, a friend, a graduate or someone starting a new chapter - and a quiet, year-long practice for yourself. Start with week one. Someone is already coming to mind.
