The third and final installment in The Friendship Letters series by Wanda E. Brunstetter is “Letters of Wisdom.” It follows the story of Irma Miller as she deals with previously suppressed childhood memories of abuse at the hands of her stepfather, Homer. While these memories have lain mostly dormant, upon Homer’s death and Irma’s trip back home for his funeral, they are awakened. Irma finds herself suffering from tormenting flashbacks as she finds herself struggling to control her own escalating anger towards her children. She turns to her friend Doretta for advice. Doretta writes to Irma, encouraging her to seek help. It is only by working with a Christian counselor that Irma finally breaks the cycle of abuse. While this may be a triggering book for individuals who have suffered similar abuse, as you read through Irma’s story, you may also experience healing as she did, by following the steps she did. Kudos to Ms. Brunstetter for tackling the tough issues. I received a copy of this book from the publisher in exchange for my honest review.
