Everyone is searching for something... A novel from the best-selling author of the international hit Love Letters To the Dead.
It begins as an assignment for English class: write a letter to a dead person - any dead person. Laurel chooses Kurt Cobain - he died young, and so did Laurel's sister May - so maybe he'll understand a bit of what Laurel is going through. Soon Laurel is writing letters to lots of dead people - Janis Joplin, Heath Ledger, River Phoenix, Amelia Earhart ... it's like she can't stop. And she'd certainly never dream of handing them in to her teacher.
