Book “Unsent Letters to My Daughter” – written by Malgorzata M. Palka

This is a story about loss, pain, the realization of how fragile and painful human life is – and finally, about gradually rediscovering the will to continue one’s own path in life and live with the scars that no one can ever remove. While reading, one cannot help but immerse oneself in the deep inner world of the author. The letters to Justyna leave a lasting impression, remain in the heart, call for reflection, and testify to how one rediscovers oneself after the greatest imaginable tragedy – the loss of a child.
