Letters: Our American Story

By Ann Brubaker Greenleaf Wirtz

Book Overview

A Legacy of Faith, Family, and Freedom--Told Through the Power of the Written Word



In Letters: Our American Story, Ann Brubaker Greenleaf Wirtz invites readers into a deeply personal yet profoundly universal journey through American history. Blending memoir, historical narrative, and poetic reflection, this unique work weaves together the voices of ancestors, iconic figures, and the author's own insights--all rooted in the enduring tradition of handwritten letters.

From the Continental Congress (1774-1781) to the dusty plains of Kansas, with farms, universities, and church pews prominent in her tale, Wirtz captures the heartbeat of generations who shaped a nation and a family through courage, conviction, and connection. Featuring a World War II letter and correspondence from remarkable women--including a direct link to suffragist Susan B. Anthony--this book illuminates the story of America and our connection to each other.

Throughout, Wirtz underscores a timeless truth: words matter. Whether a letter is penned in grief, joyfulness, or quiet prayer, these writings carry wisdom and insight for today.
