In 'A Letter to My Late Mother', the author has seven conversations with her late mother. She pours her heart out in a highly
intense and heartfelt tribute, filling her mother in on what has happened since her passing. Prolific South African author, Professor Vincent M Gray (PhD), who is from the School of Molecular and Cell Biology at the University of the Witwatersrand, had this to say about Wardle as a writer and the manuscript:- 'I believe that your manuscript has literary merit, and I am persuaded that you are a serious and gifted writer who needs to be taken seriously. I believe your work can make a significant artist contribution to South African writing. I have no doubt about this. Your Letter was gripping and moving. Thank you for sharing it with me.'
