Dear Edward: A Novel

byAnn Napolitano

Ann Napolitano's novel follows twelve-year-old Edward Adler, the sole survivor of a plane crash that kills his parents, brother, and every other passenger. As he moves in with his aunt and uncle, grief disrupts school, friendship, identity, and the ordinary future he expected. Alternating chapters introduce fellow passengers during the flight, restoring lives otherwise reduced to a casualty count. Edward's recovery depends not on forgetting but on discovering connections to those who died. The novel explores survivor's guilt, family, community, and the slow possibility of building a meaningful life after incomprehensible loss.
