Dear Librarian, I am delighted to announce the publication of my debut novel, THE LOCAL NEWS, which combines family drama, mystery and coming-of-age to tell the story of awkward, bookish Lydia Pasternak, whose older, more charismatic brother goes missing the summer before her sophomore year. Called "an accomplished debut" (Publishers Weekly) with a "disarmingly unsentimental narrative voice" (Kirkus Reviews), the book explores many of my long-time fascinations: the perils of high school, the messy complications of family, the nature of loss, and the love/hate relationship we often have to those closest to us. THE LOCAL NEWS offers a probing and, at times, funny journey through Lydia's sudden celebrity, her crumbling home life, and her ambivalent—often grudging—grief for a brother she never particularly liked, but who is suddenly gone. For more about THE LOCAL NEWS, visit www.miriamgershow.com. Sincerely, Miriam Gershow
