"Love Letters To The Dead" by Ava Dellaira
It started as a school assignment--to write a letter to a dead person, but for Laurel, it's not that simple. She is still dealing with the death of her sister, May. As she writes letters to dead people, they learn about her life now and what led up to the death of her sister.
There is some very good stuff here and the letters are very well written. This was a page turner for me! Give it a chance. You will be glad you did.

"I Promised My Dad—An Intimate Portrait of Michael Landon"
I Promised My Dad—An Intimate Portrait of Michael Landon
by His Eldest Daughter, Cheryl Landon Wilson with Jane Scovell is about
the life of Michael Landon. I was impressed by how much his daughter
knew about his childhood. By
reading this book, I learned many things about Michael Landon that I
never knew. Since I watched him as “Little Joe” in Bonanza and then as
Charles Ingalls in Little House on the Prairie, I was eager to learn
about him as a person. This book answers the
question, What was Michael Landon really like? It has a lot of
interesting things in it but I especially liked his reason for letting
his hair grow long—it gave him more confidence and made him feel like he
could do anything, like Samson who had great strength
when his hair was long. He was a loving man with a great sense of
humor.

"The Impossible Knife of Memory" by Laurie Halse Anderson
This book is about a young girl who has to deal with her dad who is suffering from PTSD. Then she gets a boyfriend to complicate matters more. I really enjoyed this because the main characters are really good and the plot line is true to life. Kept me turning the pages--LOVED it!
