Jen Petro-Roy

A heartbreaking - yet ultimately uplifting - epistolary novel about family, religion, and having the courage to be yourself.

P.S. I Miss You is so moving! Evie'squiet strength and fierce determination are an inspiration. " - Ann M. Martin, author of Rain Reign and the Baby-Sitters Club

"Jen Petro-Roy has created a character with the potential to beas iconic as Judy Blume's Margaret." - Erin Dionne, author of Notes from an Accidental Band Geek

Evie is heartbroken when her strict Catholic parents send her pregnant sister, Cilla, away to stay with a distant great-aunt. All Evie wants is for her older sister to come back. Forbidden from speaking to Cilla, Evie secretly sends her letters.

Evie writes about her family, torn apart and hurting. She writes about her life, empty without Cilla. And she writes about the new girl in school, June, who becomes her friend, and then maybe more than a friend.

Evie could really use some advice from Cilla. But Cilla isn't writing back, and it's time for Evie to take matters into her own hands.

P.S. I Miss You by Jen Petro-Roy is a heartfelt middle grade novel dealing with faith, identity, and finding your way in difficult times.

"A heartbreaking but empowering story that's impossible to forget. . . Readers will love Evie's smart, funny voice and will recognize themselves in her worries, her questions, and her hopes." - Kate Messner, author of The Seventh Wish
