Amelia and Jenna were brought together by the Orman Chronicles series, written by young (and reclusive) N.E. Endsley. When the pair get a chance to attend a book fest Endsley is at, what starts as a dream quickly goes wrong: Jenna gets a chance to meet the author, Amelia doesn’t, and the two have a blowout fight. Before they can make up, Jenna is in a car accident and dies. But a mysterious rare edition of the Orman Chronicles makes its way to Amelia, who wonders if it’s from Jenna. She tracks it to a small bookstore in Michigan where she comes face to face with Endsley, who is dealing with grief of his own. —Rachel Strolle
