In tonight's dead letter, our listener’s family trades a rented
place for an old Victorian villa tucked into the quiet border
country between England and Wales. The previous owner had loved
the house for more than half a century, and the neighbors were
quick to say she'd have approved of the new arrivals. But the
littlest member of the family keeps mentioning an old woman with
white hair. We’ll get into faceless figures, formidable women who
hold a home together, and an old plaque that quietly says exactly
what this whole story is about.
