Dear Edward is a poignant novel that tells the story of Edward Adler, a 12-year-old boy who becomes the sole survivor of a devastating plane crash that claims the lives of 191 passengers, including his entire family.

The narrative unfolds through dual timelines: one detailing the events aboard the ill-fated flight, offering glimpses into the lives of its diverse passengers; the other following Edward’s journey of healing and self-discovery in the aftermath of the tragedy.

Inspired by the real-life story of a young boy who survived a plane crash in 2010, Ann Napolitano crafts a tale that delves into themes of grief, resilience, and the search for meaning after unimaginable loss.
