Intriguing premise, leaning towards:
“A woman on the verge of suicide ignites a journey of reconciliation and self-forgiveness when replying to a 40-year-old letter from her imprisoned lover”

1. Refashion to better grab the reader concerning suicide, letter, and journey.
2. Who is this woman? E.g., a nurse that fell for a soldier that was captured. Prison guard? I would love to see the connection.
3. Changed letter(s) to one letter – her destiny needs only a single action to start her journey.
4. A location may help orientate the reader.

Hope you find this constructive, keep going!

And sorry for writing a logline 'to' your logline, Tigerlil, particularly of a different genre. I realise that's not what this site is for. I'm just such a logline junkie. I'll have to sit on my hands.

Good luck with the story.
