Wracked with survivor's guilt, she refuses to leave the place she calls home, until the war comes knocking to her doorstep and she is forced to accept the inevitable and confront her fears.

But this was an exception. Growing up we were taught the importance of communicating effectively by means of letters. As an adult, that has been condensed to a few words and at times, just a handful of abbreviations; cu, tc.
