"This dazzling and moving memoir is a roller coaster of loss and transition, held together by the reminder that love and family run deeper than we ever imagine. Written in gorgeous prose, this ultimately uplifting tale will have you savoring every page." -- Claire Bidwell Smith, author of The Rules of Inheritance Beth and her older sister try desperately to maintain normalcy and order, in the face of uncertainty and confusion. Their young lives are filled with deception and despair at the hands of a narcissistic mother and her abusive boyfriend. Told from Beth's point of view, the story unfolds with innocence and honesty. The Gold Mailbox captures moments of despair and hope, sadness and humor, sister rivalry and sister love, death and emotional rebirth, abuse and unconditional love. In the end, the story leaves the reader marveling over the healing power of compassion and forgiveness.

Not book related, but for those Littens who also enjoy writing and receiving letters, I've come across a website featuring letter writing, www.lettermo.com. I've always loved getting snail mail letters, so I've signed up at this site.

Crazeedi Cool idea! Thank you! 6y
Kaye Thank you for the link. I checked it out but I believe I‘ll pass, only because I‘ve got a full plate of people in here to write to. I hope you guys have a good time with it, though. 6y

I completely forgot to take a picture of the box before I mailed it, but my #jólabókaflódswap match will be getting her package soon!

PerksOfBeingABookworm Shoot, I guess hashtags don‘t recognize slashed o‘s as letters. In any case, my #jolabokaflodswap partner should get her package on Saturday! 6y

@CoffeeCatsBooks sorry for the day late post. We were slammed yesterday. I am in love with my package. Thank you so much! You are so kind! I can‘t believe you got me the pensieve set! I have been wanting it for so long! I love everything! The Ravenclaw edition is gorgeous! I really love the pictures and extras inside of it. The bookmarks are so fun, and will be used daily 💙 I‘m so happy you got me the Funko, too. I‘ve been eyeballing it!

CoffeeCatsBooks Glad you enjoyed it! I thought the train 🚂 with Harry Potter was too cute to pass up. 7y

I am halfway through this book & cannot put it down. Amazing memoir that is just heartbreaking & uplifting at the same time.
