What does it mean not just to survive, but to truly live?
One summer morning, twelve-year-old Edward Adler, his beloved older
brother, his parents, and 183 other passengers board a flight in Newark
headed for Los Angeles. Among them are a Wall Street wunderkind, a young
woman coming to terms with an unexpected pregnancy, an injured veteran
returning from Afghanistan, a business tycoon, and a free-spirited woman
running away from her controlling husband. Halfway across the country,
the plane crashes. Edward is the sole survivor.
Edward's story captures the attention of the nation, but he struggles to
find a place in a world without his family. He continues to feel that a
part of himself has been left in the sky, forever tied to the plane and
all of his fellow passengers. But then he makes an unexpected
discovery--one that will lead him to the answers of some of life's most
profound questions: When you've lost everything, how do you find the
strength to put one foot in front of the other? How do you learn to feel
safe again? How do you find meaning in your life?
Dear Edward is at once a transcendent coming-of-age story, a
multidimensional portrait of an unforgettable cast of characters, and a
breathtaking illustration of all the ways a broken heart learns to love
again.
