Description

“I have memories of you before you were even born...” This is how 15-year-old Tess DeNunzio begins to tell her terrible secret to her sister Zoe -- a secret she has tried to keep, even from herself. On Sept. 11, 2001, Tess loses her 3-year-old sister to a hit-&-run driver. Tess begins her letter to Zoe as a means of figuring out her own life. Only after she moves in with her real father, a well-intentioned deadbeat, & stumbles into a halting romance with the sweet but aimless boy next door does Tess begin to open her heart once more. Part love letter, part coming-of-age story, part confession, Tess’s story lets us eavesdrop on the intimate conversations that force her to articulate her loss, confront her guilt, &, ultimately, confirm the healing power of love.
