Unfinished Business is a guide to the art of letter writing by Frish Brandt, who calls herself a "letter midwife." It helps readers put into words the thank-you notes, apologies and goodbyes they have never managed to write or say.
The book focuses on five fundamental letters: Thank you, I'm sorry, I miss you, I love you, and Goodbye. Brandt draws on real-world examples from her teaching in universities, workshops and individual sessions around the country. She combines practical writing prompts and exercises with reflections on grief, connection, forgiveness and closure.
The aim is to help readers deepen their most important connections and heal old wounds. It is meant to be read, written alongside and returned to.
