During her long life, NELLIE HUNT COLLINGS (1883-1961) kept copious journals detailing life on a small Idaho farm. Interspersed with those entries were bits of poetry, most relating to the things that were central to her–family and community.

At times, she notes, during the harsh winters, she might go weeks without seeing anyone except her family…but she was never alone. She had her words. ...

Ever written a letter you never sent? Words you've never said but wanted to? That's what you're about to read in The Lifetime Between.

Words that didn't come until it was too late. Words of hurt, of anger, of love, of hope, of strength. Words of truth—which sometimes...
