About the Author
Ruth Carter had a happy childhood, she walked the fields on the small farm. Her father pointed out wild strawberries, violets and early purple orchids. Her mother had ample arms with which she cuddled her four children. It was only when the eldest daughter died that her mother suffered severe depression and became aggressive towards the other three.
The picture of the lost one was placed on the mantelpiece with fresh flowers placed at the side. Even though the girl did not even like her older sister she wrote letters to her. She wrote to the angels and left them where her mother might find them in the hope that she could be loved again.
