Event Details
What does it mean not just to survive, but to truly live?
One summer morning, 12-year-old Edward Adler, his beloved older brother, his parents, and 183 other passengers board a flight in Newark headed for Los Angeles. Among them are a Wall Street wunderkind, a young woman coming to terms with an unexpected pregnancy, an injured veteran returning from Afghanistan, a business tycoon, and a free-spirited woman running away from her controlling husband. Halfway across the country, the plane crashes. Edward is the sole survivor.
A “dazzling” novel that “will break your heart and put it back together again” (J. Courtney Sullivan, best-selling author of Saints for All Occasions) about a young boy who must learn to go on after surviving tragedy.
