Ofa Hayes left the big city of Berkeley, CA to go to her first job, in Tulare, CA. She was a small town high school art teacher. She left her friend, Michael Chepourkoff back at the University where he was working on his Master's degree in art. There were no personal telephones in the 1930;s, so she wrote letters to him almost every day. He saved her letters, which were given to their daughter Vivian after their deaths. These are real letters from the 1930's, not fiction.

Ofa talked about her fellow teachers, housemates, the school principal, and her students. It was the time of the Great Depression of the 1930's. Money was tight and times were hard.

It is like peeking into Ofa's diary, as she talks of her growing love for Michael, and her struggles to bring out creativity in her students and herself. When Michael graduated in 1933, they married, and there were no letters for a year. In 1935, Michael went to Hollywood to look for work, and Ofa started writing again, telling of the antics of their young son. Their daughter Vivian was born in 1935, which stopped the letters.

The marraige ended in divorce in 1938. Ofa went on to continue teaching. She married twice and made a name for herself as a California artist, painting landscapes, florals, and figures. Some of her art is contaned in "Letters for a Lover." Her story continues in Vivian Chepourkoff Hayes' book "Ofa Irvine Jallu, Artist."
