Dear You

Who will save Kate Malone?
I remember exactly why I started writing to him. I felt desperate and alone--as if no one in the world remembered I existed and needed to be cared for. These letters were never put in an envelope or sent across the miles, because there was no address.

He didn't exist.
For the first time in forever, I had someone who I could share my thoughts and feelings and secrets with. I clung to the sliver of hope that he would come rescue me.
My mother promised our new life would be better for all of us after fleeing from my abusive father, but it's only been an illusion. Just like the letters I write to a person with no name.
As if a new neighborhood and a new school weren't enough to throw me off balance, Lena, a little Italian hurricane blows into my world with cappuccino, homemade food, and friendship. She thinks these things can make everything better. She might just be right.
But I'm so used to hiding in shadows and staying safe within the fantasy of control I built for myself that I have a hard time accepting what life has gifted to me.
I'm not ready to let go of my invisible savior. Because if he doesn't come for me, who will?
Dear You is about 52,500 words in length.

Read about Kate Malone who learns how to leave the shadows, anger, and fears behind in order to become her own savior.
