DON'T MISS THE MAJOR MOTION PICTURE STARRING SADIE SINK OF STRANGER THINGS!

Dear Zoe is a remarkable study of grief, adolescence, and healing with a pitch-perfect narrator who is at once sharp and naive, world-worried and self-centered, funny and heartbreakingly honest.

Fifteen-year-old Tess DeNunzio hasn't been the same since she lost her sister Zoe to a hit-and-run accident on September 11th-when it seemed like nothing mattered except the tragedies playing out in New York and Washington. Dear Zoe is Tess's letter to her sister, writtenas a means of figuring out her own life and her place in the world-and the result is a novel of rare power and grace that tells us much about ours.

Reviews for Dear Zoe: A Novel

Praise for Dear Zoe Like The Lovely Bones, [Dear Zoe] is a piercing look at how family recovers from a devastating loss. Everything about this moving, powerful debut rings true. -Booklist (starred review) Beard peels away the layers of his protagonist's anguish simply and sensitively...and creates real, multidimensional and affecting characters. -The Washington Post Affecting. -Entertainment Weekly The whole novel...rings with truth. -The Buffalo News Lovely...moving. -Publishers Weekly In his soulful debut novel...Philip Beard does a pitch-perfect impersonation but never sugar-coats the depths of a young girl's despair. -Pittsburg-Post Gazette Dear Zoe is an almost flawless novel of self-discovery and redemption. It is the sort of book that a generation can call 'theirs,' a book that captures the trials of adolescence and the aching numbness of America in the aftermath of 9/11. -The Press of Atlantic City
