Treasures of the Tattered Box
About the Book
Ritchie was fourteen years old when she first met her great aunt Hallie and fully expected her to be a frumpy old lady. She was wrong. Thirty years later an old tattered box bound together with frayed twine containing treasures and keepsakes, would lead Ritchie on a twenty-five year journey, often accompanied by her mother-in-law. They would visit six states and journey nearly fifteen thousand miles.
As the years and miles accumulated so did the participants whose lives were intertwined with the story of Hallie’s life, love, loss, and legacy.
Ritchie had set out on a journey to remember but discovered so much more.
