Ann Napolitano is the author of the novels A Good Hard Look and Within Arm’s Reach. She received an MFA from NYU; she has taught fiction writing for Brooklyn College’s MFA program, NYU’s School of Continuing and Professional Studies, and for Gotham Writers’ Workshop. Dear Edward captures the attention of the nation, but he struggles to find a place for himself in a world without his family. He continues to feel that a piece of him has been left in the sky, forever tied to the plane and all of his fellow passengers. But then he makes an unexpected discovery—one that will lead him to the answers of some of life’s most profound questions: When you’ve lost everything, how do find yourself? How do you discover your purpose?
