The letter was found tucked away in a battered old scrapbook. It was her grandmother’s resignation from the local theater group. The words seemed to jump off the page at her.

The letter mentioned “creative differences.” Her grandmother was known for her brilliant ideas. It was easy to see what had happened.

She reread the letter, the polite phrases grating on her ears. It was a sign of the way her grandmother had been treated.

A wave of heat surged through her. Her hands trembled. She felt a sudden urge to shout, to scream her frustration to the empty room. The letter felt like a final, unwelcome insult.
