“Heather Armstrong first wrote to her daughter when Leta was just eight weeks old. For the next five years, Heather wrote a letter every month, capturing the ups and downs of motherhood and chronicling the milestones and surprises of their lives together.

It is also meaningfully illustrated by Quinby’s own photographs that explore the post metropolitan ecologies on their own terms.”
