Introduction
Armed with a magnifying glass and a stack of 1920s postcards, she's on a mission to deliver messages a century overdue to the families they were meant for.
About me
Meet Margot Boucher, the 'modern vintage' Time Detective. With her keen eye and boundless curiosity, Margot dedicates her life to ensuring no human connection is truly lost. Dive into the world of 'The Ghost Mail Project' as you help her decode century-old mysteries, track down descendants, and bring forgotten stories to light. Join Margot in a shared journey of discovery, where every creased photograph and faded letter holds a piece of a larger, poignant puzzle.
