The People in the Photo by Helene Gestern

This is a quick read written entirely in letter/email form.  It's a story of family secrets, and how they can affect the family members.  Helene's mother died when she was only 3, and she wants to know more about her.  Her father and stepmother wouldn't answer her questions about her mother, and now that they are not around to help her, she is researching on her own.  She begins a correspondence with Stephane who lives in England and who's father knew Helene's mother.  Their letters are a bit formal and stuffy, but as they begin to uncover some of the mysteries of their parents, their relationship changes.  What they uncover is not earth shattering, but it is an interesting, well-written book.  Recommended.  -June
