At 13 years of age, Benjamin discovers that before she died, his mother left him a box of letters, written when he was a small child. It was his mother's hope that these letters would give Benjamin a better understanding of not only her life, but more importantly, the truth behind the unmarked grave on the west fence, that she had always refused to talk about.

Come join Benjamin as he reads those letters and takes a journey back through his family heritage, as he seeks answers to things he has never been allowed to know before.
