   Summary

   We do not have to become heroes overnight. Just a step at a time, meeting each thing that comes up, seeing it is not as dreadful as it appeared, discovering we have the strength to stare it down. - Eleanor Roosevelt

   It has started with a letter. A letter written in anger and fury and heartbreak, addressed to a person Eloise barely knew, her only connection to them through betrayal and hurt. And yet, a friendship was born, maybe unexpected and not without its flaws, but most welcomed anyway.
