It''s not what you''ve lost . . . it''s what you''ve found.

One summer morning, a flight takes off from New York to Los Angeles: there are 192 people aboard. When the plane suddenly crashes, twelve-year-old Edward Adler is the sole survivor.

In the aftermath, Edward struggles to make sense of his grief, sudden fame and find his place in a world without his family. But then Edward and his neighbour Shay make a startling discovery; hidden in his uncle''s garage are letters from the relatives of other passengers - all addressed him.

Following the passengers'' final hours and Edward''s unique coming-of-age, Dear Edward asks one of life''s most profound questions:

What does it mean not just to survive, but to truly live?
