Margo Rabb
Dear Librarian, Like Mia Pearlman, the narrator of CURES FOR HEARTBREAK, when I was in my teens my mother died of melanoma, nine days after the diagnosis. I dealt with the particularly bad days after her death by spending countless hours reading in bed; I checked out every library book I could find which featured a parent who had died. In some ways this book was a chance to go back in time, to tell that girl hiding in bed: it will be okay. Some days you’ll think you’re cured, you’re over it, and other days you’ll want to crawl under the covers just as you did sixteen years ago. But that’s what books are here for. “CURES FOR HEARTBREAK is a sad, funny, smart, endlessly poignant novel…It made me feel grateful for my life, for my family, and above all for the world that brings us gifts like the gift of Margo Rabb.” --Michael Chabon, author of The Amazing Adventures of Kavalier & Clay “Readers will cherish this powerful debut.” --Booklist (Starred Review) “Black humor, pitch-perfect detail, and compelling characters make this a terrific read.” --School Library Journal (Starred Review) Write to me at contest@curesforheartbreak.com with “Librarian” in the subject line, and you’ll be entered to win a signed copy of the book! Yours, Margo Rabb www.margorabb.com
