Maybe not for you if...

You prefer fiction to real stories, or you find earnest coming-of-age narratives a bit slow-paced.

About this book

A true story of an American girl and a boy from Zimbabwe whose letter correspondence changed both of their lives. What began as a classroom assignment—where Caitlin's class wrote to unknown students in distant places—became a six-year exchange between Caitlin and Martin, the top student in his class who was selected to receive one of only ten letters distributed to fifty students. In this dual memoir, Caitlin and Martin recount how they became best friends through their long-distance letters and how the correspondence shaped them as people. Their account explores how connecting across distance and difference can broaden perspective and understanding of the wider world.
