Letters to the Lost

Brigid Kemmerer

Rev Fletcher has worked hard to build a safe, stable life with his adoptive parents, but a letter from his abusive father threatens to reopen the wounds of his past. Emma Blue takes refuge in the computer game she created as her family falls apart, until escalating harassment from an online troll makes the virtual world impossible to escape. When their paths intersect, Rev and Emma must confront the fear, pain, and secrets they have been keeping hidden while learning what it means to trust someone else. A poignant contemporary YA novel about trauma, resilience, family, and the courage to seek help, it explores the complicated ways young people survive—and begin to heal.
