Friends fall  out of touch, loved ones pass away, or sometimes the courage required  is simply lacking -- and thank-yous, regrets, feelings, and secrets are  left unshared. In 2009, Jackie Hooper came up with a way to help people  recapture a moment that had once passed them by -- she began asking them  to write letters.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eBased on the popular blog The Things You Would Have Said, this  extraordinary collection of letters brings together the moving,  surprising, and inspiring stories of ordinary people. By turns  heartwarming, funny, sad, and wise, the letters showcase a remarkable  range of voices and subjects. From the indignant young boy urging his  bully to become \"a better man,\" to the woman apologizing to the girl  she picked on in high school, to a man thanking the woman who protected  his family from Nazis, the letters bring together an outpouring of  emotion that is as compelling as it is cathartic.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Penguin Publishing Group","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47128121377008,"sku":"9781101561119","price":6.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9781101561119_p0.jpg?v=1763688001","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9781101561119","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
