Take Me With You When You Go, by Jennifer Niven and David Levithan
【虛擬電子信,真實姊弟情】
高中生 Ezra 一覺醒來,便赫然發現18歲的姊姊 Bea 不聲不響偷走他的錢,逃離了這個家,唯一留下的東西,就是一個電子郵件地址。
Ezra 從沒想過自己有一天必須獨自與有暴力虐待傾向的繼父,和長期忽視這一切的媽媽一起生活。
儘管如此,他也不恨姊姊,而是瞞著父母透過電子書信秘密往來,與姊姊互相打氣支持,各自努力收拾殘破的生活,尋找活下去的一絲希望……
著名電影原著《生命中的燦爛時光》(All the Bright Places) 作家 Jennifer Niven,與暢銷青少年小說《Boy Meets Boy》作家 David Levithan,攜手打造最感人的青少年書信體小說。闡述一段突破家庭暴力、孤獨無助、內疚、身分認同等層層關卡,彌足珍貴的手足親情。無論青少年或成人,都能從中收獲面對生命困境的勇氣。
From the New York Times bestselling authors of All the Bright Places and Every Day comes a story of hope, siblinghood, and finding your home in the people who matter the most.
Ezra Ahern wakes up one day to find his older sister, Bea, gone. No note, no sign, nothing but an email address hidden somewhere only he would find it. Ezra never expected to be left behind with their abusive stepfather and their neglectful mother—how is he supposed to navigate life without Bea?
Bea Ahern already knew she needed to get as far away from home as possible But a message in her inbox changes everything, and she finds herself alone in a new city—without Ez, without a real plan—chasing someone who might not even want to be found.
As things unravel at home for Ezra, Bea will confront secrets about their past that will forever change the way they think about their family. Together and apart, broken by abuse but connected by love, this brother and sister must learn to trust themselves before they can find a way back to each other.
