Nella's Attic Auction

The main character, Brandon, is a pediatrician whose wife died shortly after their daughter, Marge, was born. The story begins with Marge as a young adult who has followed in her father's footsteps. Now that he has his daughter to take over the practice, Brandon decides to take a few weeks off to spend some time with his family and friends. During Brandon's visit, Nella mentions that she would like to sell some of the junk in her attic. Brandon offers to get a group together to help her with the chore. The auction is set for Memorial Day weekend. While going through an old trunk in the attic, Nella notices a letter that was written to her. Thinking it curious that it appeared to have never been opened, she is hesitant about looking at the contents. The letter, along with a mysterious chain of events, ultimately changes her life.
