The Letter
by Christine Merser
Coming June 2025
Rachel has always struggled to connect with her mother, a woman who commands the public stage but remains an enigma behind closed doors. When a late-night phone call shatters the illusion of distance, Rachel is thrust into the raw, unfiltered reality of a mother’s attempted suicide. Over the course of weeks and months, through hospital rooms, therapy sessions, and painful family reckonings, she searches for answers—about her mother’s past, about the weight of generational wounds, and about the truth behind the love that was always just out of reach.
Told with searing honesty, dark humor, and a relentless pursuit of understanding,The Letter is a story of survival—not just of a mother’s, but of a daughter’s. And, an understanding that what you think you know about someone is not all of their story.
