I Will Always Write Back: How One Letter Changed Two Lives is the true story of an all-American girl named Caitlin Alifirenka and a boy from Zimbabwe named Martin Ganda. The narrative unfolds through the exchange of letters after Caitlin chooses Martin's name from a pen-pal list in 1997. Despite their vastly different worlds, their correspondence leads to a deep friendship. Caitlin, living in a middle-class suburb in Pennsylvania, is initially unaware of the poverty and struggles Martin faces in his daily life. As they continue to write, she learns about the economic hardships and the effort it takes for Martin to stay in school. Moved by his situation, Caitlin and her family start sending financial support to Martin, which enables him to continue his education and eventually earn a scholarship to an American university. The book is a testament to the power of empathy, generosity, and the human connection that can bridge continents and transform lives.
