How One Letter Changed Two Lives

The New York Times bestselling true story of an all-American girl and a boy from Zimbabwe and the letter that changed both of their lives forever.



It started as an assignment. Everyone in Caitlin's class wrote to an unknown student somewhere in a distant place.



Martin was lucky to even receive a pen-pal letter. There were only ten letters, and fifty kids in his class. But he was the top student, so he got the first one.



That letter was the beginning of a correspondence that spanned six years and changed two lives.



In this compelling dual memoir, Caitlin and Martin recount how they became best friends--and better people--through their long-distance exchange. Their story will inspire you to look beyond your own life and wonder about the world at large and your place in it.

Their story will inspire you to look beyond your own life and wonder about the world at large and your place in it.

This is a very sweet story of two childhood pen-pals who became lifelong friends across the world. Caitlin is from PA and Martin is from Zimbabewe. The memoir is told through narroative and letters from Caitlin and Martin. This was a book club read and it fostered good discussion and was a popular choice. Not one we would have normally chosen, but well worth it. The book does have some wear and tear (pictured), but is in good shape.
