Unfinished Business : How to Write the Five Essential Letters of Your Life

A practical and inspiring guide to the art of letter writing, including prompts and exercises to help deepen our most important connections and heal old woundsWe all have unfinished business: thank-you notes we meant to write, goodbyes we never spoke, apologies we never managed to give. Here to help us put those words on paper, `letter midwife' Frish Brandt provides guidance on how to write the five essential letters that can make our lives more meaningful: Thank you, I'm sorry, I miss you, I love you, and Goodbye.

At once an inspiring guide and an ode to the power of the written word, Unfinished Business is a book to read, to write alongside, and to return to again and again.
