<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Book </b></p></br></br>Beard's debut is an epistolary novel written from 15-year-old Tess DeNunzio to her little sister Zoe. After Zoe's death on September 11, 2001, Tess's family is numbed by their personal tragedy. Not Since "The Lovely Bones" has there been a study of grief, adolescence, and healing that rings as true.<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br>Philip Beard's stunning debut novel is fifteen-year-old Tess DeNunzio's letter to her sister, Zoe, lost to a hit-and-run driver on a day when it seemed that nothing mattered but the tragedies playing out in New York and Washington. <i>Dear Zoe</i> is a remarkable study of grief, adolescence, and healing with a pitch-perfect narrator who is at once sharp and naïve, world- worried and self-centered, funny and heartbreakingly honest. Tess begins her letter to Zoe as a means of figuring out her own life, her place in the world, but the result is a novel of rare power and grace that tells us much about ours.
