Silent Letters

By Lauren Furlin Frost

Memories are slippery storytellers, more broken telephone than photograph. On February 14, 2010, forty nine year old Nate Stanton is stuck in a hospital room playing head games with a palliative patient who claims to have done a little something to affect Nate's fate. On August 17, 1991, he's preparing to attend the memorial of a friend. Across town, Tesse Knowles, an archaeologist recovering from brain trauma, is stuck at the airport, not quite sure herself why she's trying to reach Nate. Long shared history weaves Nate and Tesse together but there are disconnects between their recollections and lingering effects from an affair between her mother and his father, including Nate's begrudging belief that he's the reincarnation of his uncle who committed suicide after discovering the affair. As the patient tries to tease out deliberately buried memories. Nate's methodical letters and Tesse's uneven storytelling creep forward. What is the real truth and does it even matter?
