Yesterdays Child

Time will help. Time will heal. <P> Thats what people promised. But for Laura, nothing is helping or healing. Her mothers death has left a void in her. Its made Laura realize she hardly knew her mother, and that can never be fixed. So Laura lies in her mothers bed, puts on her lipstick, reads her letters -- anything to answer Lauras questions and end her unbearable loneliness. <P> Then Laura finds a letter that raises more questions than it answers. Written the day before her mothers death, its addressed to someone named Megan and speakes vaguely of forgiveness. Lauras never heard of Megan, but Megan and Lauras mother appear to have been childhood friends who hadnt spoken in twenty-five years. What would prompt her mother to write Megan now? And what did she mean by forgiveness? If Laura can unveil the mystery behind the letter, maybe shell also unveil the mystery that was -- and still is -- her mother. <P> But Lauras search for answers becomes an obsession. Laura cant stop, not until she knows the truth about everything -- even if it kills her.
