Dear Courage

Author: Katie H.

Synopsis: Courage will, one way or another, fail us all. And in those times, we often resort to friends, neighbors, family, or sometimes simply a pen and paper to get us through. When a women discovers some interesting letters from the past, we see her struggle to balance the hopelessness of a future for her only surviving family member, her grandmother, while facing her own road to recovery. Will these letters help or haunt her? Can she ever learn to face her recent past, and live a healthy, loving, normal life, or will she choose to go back to the one thing that's kept her going. Survival.

Dear Courage is a story about a soldier, a granddaughter, a casualty of war, but most importantly about the way love finds us, in the most desperate of times.
