-- A forgotten box of letters in a dark attic corner, messages from women friends written decades ago --

-- An intimate record of a time of great transition in how women experienced their daily lives and imagined their future --

During the 1970's and 80's, Signe Eklund Schaefer and her young family moved often, within the United States and abroad. Handwritten letters, now relics of a pre-Internet world, were vital to her ongoing connection with friends and to her evolving sense of self. From the surprising discovery of these old letters she has woven a moving account of the reflections, mutual support and multi-dimensional exchanges between women friends, which offer a record of women's lives five decades ago, and speak powerfully to contemporary social concerns.
