The Last Letter
The Last Letter: A Novel | Susan Pogorzelski
3 posts | 1 read | 8 to read
Write one last letter. That's what fifteen-year-old Amelia's psychologist says when she tells him about her time capsule--a My Little Pony lunchbox she's buried in the backyard garden after listening to the preacher on the corner shout about the end of times. One last chance to leave her mark on a world that's been shaken to its core by a national tragedy not even the preacher sees coming.One last story of humanity's ability to endure, like in all those historical disasters her mother recites like fairytales.One last reminder of her existence, when her illness has turned her into such a ghost of her former self, one more exhale is all it will take before she disappears completely.One last letter to tell the world how she's lived and who she's loved and what she's trying to survive.

The Last Letter: A Novel | Susan Pogorzelski

Pickpick

This is a terrific coming of age story with a medical mystery at its core. Told in an epistolary format, Amelia (Lia) is a high schooler trying to chronicle a life that feels like it's falling apart. Her friends don't understand, her parents don't have answers, and the doctors just think she's faking it. What Lia goes through is all-too-common, and a lesson for people of all ages.
