Rosie spends her summer at her grandfather’s farm, filling out a letter for home while her feelings shift.

The story follows her growth as she learns that communication keeps her connected, easing separation anxiety and telling the truth about her own feelings. With gentle humor and thoughtful insight, the book portrays how a grateful heart can bridge distance, and how letters become lifelines for fresh ways to say, ‘I miss you’.
