New Yoga Class, Fridays at 9 am with Kyoko!

Cecilia Fitzpatrick’s husband wrote her a letter, to be opened after his death.

The letter contains his deepest darkest secret – something with the poten-tial to destroy not just the life they

built together, but the lives of others as well. Cecilia stumbles across that letter while her husband is still very

much alive... does she open it or not?

Discussion on Wednesday, November 6 at 2:30 pm
