In my novel Lovers, Katey is a 17-year-old girl grieving her mother, Val. She never got the chance to say the words in her heart — until now. This blog post shares “A Letter My Character Never Sent,” where Katey reflects on missing her mum’s music, her warmth, and the way she made the family whole. It’s a tender glimpse into love, loss, and learning to find her voice again.
