Letters and Candy Lockets (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9798633527278)

Every summer, Maizy and Izzy could be found in the same two places-Long Wharf Beach on the beautiful island of New Providence, The Bahamas, or perched on the stone wall that separated their homes.

Since they were six years old, the wall had been theirs.

It was where they shared mangoes and guineps.

Where Maizy treated Izzy's bee stings with onions because she insisted they pulled out the poison.

Where dreams were whispered.

Secrets were safe.

And tomorrow always seemed certain.

Now they're beginning seventh grade.

Everything is changing.

Except one thing.

Or so Maizy believes.

Then, without warning...

Izzy is gone.

No goodbye.

No final hug.

Only a letter tucked beneath the very rock where he always waited for her.

As the years unfold, distance, growing up, heartbreak, and time test a friendship that neither child ever expected to lose.

But some promises are stronger than miles.

Some memories refuse to fade.

And sometimes love waits patiently inside the friendships we cherish most.

Letters & Candy Lockets is a tender coming-of-age novel about friendship, first love, family, loss, hope, and discovering that some hearts never truly let each other go.

Because the greatest love stories...

sometimes begin with a letter beneath a rock.
