Juliet's mother isn't around much. She is a photojournalist, traveling the world. She has developed a little tradition with her Juliet - they write letters to each other. Real letters that take some time to find their destination. When Juliet's mother is killed in a car accident, Juliet continues the tradition in order to remember her mother, except she leaves the letters at the cemetery where her mother is buried. Letters to the Lost begins when someone begins reading and then responding to these letters.

This is all about anger and grief and healing. But it also delves into making connections with people that you think you can't. HERE is a video review (done by another YA author, Chris Russell)
