A transcendent coming-of-age story about the ways a broken heart learns to love again.

One summer morning, a flight takes off from New York to Los Angeles: there are 192 people aboard. When the plane suddenly crashes, twelve-year-old Edward Adler is the sole survivor.

In the aftermath, Edward struggles to make sense of his grief, sudden fame and find his place in a world without his family. But then Edward and his neighbour Shay make a startling discovery; hidden in his uncle's garage are letters from the relatives of other passengers - all addressed him.

Following the passengers' final hours and Edward's unique coming-of-age, Dear Edward asks one of life's most profound questions:

What does it mean not just to survive, but to truly live?

Dear Edward (UK)

The book goes back in forth in time between the thoughts and actions of the passengers and crew on the ill-fated flight hours to minutes before the end and Edward in his struggle to navigate the aftermath.It is not a spoiler to say 12-year-old Edward is the sole survivor of a terrible plane crash killing nearly 200 people on board, including his family.
