"A thoughtful, authentic, and compelling story that will challenge and change your attitude about living silently with a chronic illness."Written as a series of letters between 1999 and 2003, The Last Letter is a touching coming-of-age tale about Lia Lenelli, a teenage girl struggling to shape her own identity while Lyme disease threatens to tear her world apart.ABOUT LYME DISEASELyme disease is a multi-systemic illness caused by a tick-borne bacterial infection that affects hundreds of thousands of people each year. Known as The Great Imitator for its ability to mimic other illnesses, such as Chronic Fatigue Syndrome, Fibromayalgia, Multiple Sclerosis, Lupus, psychological disorders, and more, Lyme Disease is a growing epidemic that remains misdiagnosed and underreported, leaving its patients crippled by an illness that society denies and a system that refuses to save them.Based on the author's own struggle to find a diagnosis and subsequent recovery from chronic Lyme disease, The Last Letter is a moving story of survival, hope, and the legacy we weave.ABOUT THE LAST LETTERWrite 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 when the world'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 summer of 1979 should have been a magical time of panning for gold in the creek and catching fireflies in a jar. Instead, nothing is turning out the way 12 year old Annie expected: her best friend is away at camp, Connor Bartlett barely notices her anymore, and her parents and sister, trying to protect her from the reality of her grandmother's illness, only seem to further isolate her.Desperate to find a sense of meaning in an ever-changing world, Annie turns to an unlikely confidant: a reclusive young veteran at war with his own past. As the summer days pass and her 13th birthday draws closer, Annie discovers that growing up doesn’t always mean leaving everything behind.An award-winning, classic coming-of-age tale about the friendships we form and the memories we keep.
