Read an Excerpt

Chapter 2: Chapter Two
In February of my thirtieth year, a letter came to the house where I was living, addressed to me in my own handwriting. I didn't notice it when it arrived.

Chapter 2: Chapter Two, Part 2
'What?' I turned to see him holding an envelope up toward the light, squinting in an attempt to make out what was inside. 'This is addressed to you,' he said. 'In your handwriting.' He raised his eyebrows. 'You seem to have written yourself a letter.'



Book Description

When Cameron was fifteen, she and Sonia were best friends — so close it seemed nothing would ever come between them. Now Cameron is a twenty-nine-year-old research assistant with no meaningful ties to anyone except her aging boss, noted historian Oliver Doucet.

Nearly a decade after the incident that ended their friendship, Cameron receives an unexpected letter from her old friend. Despite Oliver's urging, she doesn't reply. But when he passes away, Cameron discovers that he has left her with one final task: to track down Sonia and hand-deliver a mysterious package to her.

The Myth of You and Me captures the intensity of a friendship as well as the real sense of loss that lingers after the end of one. Searingly honest and beautiful, it is a celebration and portrait of a friendship that will appeal to anyone who still feels the absence of that first true friend.
