Milk Letters - Paperback

by Angela Welch Prusia (Author)

Two best friends. An old stack of letters. And a painful goodbye.

Thirteen-year-old Kate hates visiting the nursing home. Residents shuffle down the hallways like zombies, lost in the space between now and forever.

Oma doesn't even know Kate exists. Dementia has robbed her great grandmother of coherent thoughts.

But when Kate finds a stack of letters written in German in 1926, she is surprised to discover hidden messages. Oma is more than a frail woman with frosted white hair and blue eyes clouded by cataracts.

How does Oma's surprising past parallel the hardest goodbye of Kate's life?
