"More than a stunning debut. It is the announcement of a bold new literary voice"
—Stephen Chbosky, author of The Perks of Being a Wallflower

In January 2017 it will be 10 years since you were taken from us on that cold dark night. You were so young. Barley 21 years old. So much life left to live yet never had the chance. Wrong place and that wrong time is what took you from us along with that man who decided to do what he did. Our family never received justice for what happened but I know that one day that man will get his karma one way or another. After all this time I still miss you. I haven’t visited you in a while and I’m sorry for that. I will go soon I promise you. I miss you terribly and I don’t even remember what you sound like or how you laughed. I know you were the most caring person I’ve ever known and I know you’re looking down at us, watching us, guiding us. I hope you get the peace you deserve. One day we will meet again so you can tell me all about your adevtured ans what you’ve been doing since you’ve been away. Save a spot for me right next to you. You will forever be in my heart. And as the story says.. “I carry your heart” you will always be a part of me. I love you endlessly.
