Love Letters to the Dead

(2) YA Laurel writes letters to a variety of dead people, from Amy Winehouse to Amelia Earhart. In time the letters begin to recount a life spiraling out of control as Laurel delves into her own dead sister's past. Dellaira's characters are authentically conceived and beautifully drawn. Teens meet situations of physical, sexual, and substance abuse with numbness, stoicism, and fury.
