In 1936, young brothers named Eddie and Connie Krajicek were abandoned by their mother, Hazel. She left the boys with her husband in South Omaha, Nebraska, and ran away 750 miles to Michigan, where she eventually remarried and lived for 45 years. Contact with her sons was sporadic, although Eddie in particular went out of his way to try to maintain a connection with the woman who broke his heart. When Hazel died in 1981, Eddie went to Michigan to attend her funeral. One of Hazel's stepsons there handed Eddie a small green suitcase. Inside, he found a trove of nearly 75 letters that he and Connie had written to her. She had collected and saved them over the course of four decades. In this moving book, Eddie's grandson, writer and author David J. Krajicek, shares the letters --often sad and occasionally uplifting--and tells the story of his investigation into the colorful life story of the grandmother he never really know.
