McCorkle's heavy Southern accent added a strong voice to the novel as well as to the characters. She opened with the first chapter which introduces Wallace, a postal worker who is witness to a series of letters written by a female lover to a man who has committed suicide. These letters have appeared at the post office over a number of years, and Wallace's intrigue is shared by to the reader as one wonders how the lover's plot will be revealed.
