title: Letter from the Heart. The Real Story Behind the Iconic Photograph
author:  Sue Massey 
description: Sue Massey's <i>Letter from the Heart</i> is a love story of a couple's love for each other, for their land, and for their children. It is also the story of a gallant journey to recover from a catastrophic loss. The next time you drive past a sign that offers a house and a hundred acres of land, you'll understand on the deepest level that every time a family farm fails, each of us loses a piece of our cultural home. --Jacquelyn Mitchard, author, <i>The Deep End of the Ocean</i><br /><br />I laughed, I cried, I cheered Sue and her family on. Her story is mesmerizing, perfectly told, honest, and eloquent. I have a new found appreciation of what it means to be a family, to honor and love a good man, to cherish our children and the little moments of happiness that sprinkle our days. I gained strength and fortitude from Sue's story. --Sherill Anthony, CEO, Westfield Company<br /><br />As C. S. Lewis once said, "Hardships often prepare ordinary people for an extraordinary destiny." Sue's story is a perfect example. Her book will immerse you quickly into her life with its deep connection to the earth. Revelations flow from the heart in an easy style. Sue's love of the land, life lessons, and emotional experiences are eloquently intertwined into a captivating love story. After reading her book, you'll connect more to your own loves, faith, fears, and destiny with deeper passion and renewed strength. --Yvette M. Kindschi, Owner, La Bella Vita
