My Review:
"A Letter from Lancaster County" is such a great read that addresses families, relationships among siblings, marriages, all kinds of relationships and how they can impact how we feel about ourselves and the ability to overcome past hurts and maintain relationships with family members throughout the years.
Angela and Rose are sisters, sisters whom are living different lives and each dealing with their own set of issues and problems in their lives. Also, there has always been sibling rivalry between them and a rift in their relationship. A letter arrives from their Aunt and they both travel to Lancaster to visit her. However, this visit is not all sweet and a time of healing as hoped, as secrets come to light and the tension continues to build.
Kate has written a story that so many readers will be able to relate to as there are always divisions and feelings of inequality and rivalry in families, even if sometimes they are hidden and they are just a personal struggle, while other families may be estranged. This is a beautiful story of hope and forgiveness, yet it is not just all sweet and things are smooth sailing, so it is realistic and just overall a great book to read.
