Letters from the Shadows: Finding Your Voice
Charlie writes to a stranger because sometimes it's easier to tell your secrets to someone who can't see your face. His letters begin on August 25, 1991, just before starting high school - a freshman carrying invisible weights. His friend Michael committed suicide months earlier, leaving behind questions no one can answer. Teachers speak to Charlie differently now, as if grief might be contagious. Home isn't much better: his college-bound sister lives in her own world, his brother's away playing football, his mother cries too easily, and his father works constantly. And then there's the ghost of Aunt Helen, who died in a car accident on Charlie's seventh birthday - his favorite person, gone while getting his present. High school begins with the particular cruelty of watching former friends transform and forget you. When Susan returns with new braces and new popularity, she pretends not to see Charlie in the hallways. After defending himself against a bully, Charlie breaks down crying, cementing his reputation as "different." But in his advanced English class, teacher Bill notices something in Charlie others miss. He assigns special books beyond the curriculum, creating a lifeline of words when people prove too complicated. Through these pages, Charlie finds companions who feel as deeply as he does, characters who make his loneliness less absolute.
