Dear Stranger, Dearest Friend by Laney Katz Becker
Book description from Amazon: Lara is a smart, sophisticated New Yorker who is frightened about her future. In search of
answers, comfort, and advice, she goes on-line. And that's where she , "meets" Susan, a strong
and steady, no-frills Midwesterner. No two women could be less alike. Yet from the moment they
connect, it is clear that they share something deep and important, something that's nestled in the
warmest corner of the heart.
What begins as a chance encounter on the Internet quickly blossoms into a very special
relationship. As their e-mail messages fly back and forth, Susan and Lara forge a powerful bond
of trust, honesty, and understanding. And soon they are sharing their lives in full -- talking of
husbands and children, dreams and desires, the daily cycle of success and setback -- and
together learning to laugh uproariously over the small and large absurdities of the world. When a
devastating crisis arises, they are there for each other, providing the life-affirming strength and
the lightness that is needed to cope with tragedy ... and to triumph.
Lara and Susan originally go on-line looking for kind words and good advice. But they find in each
other the greatest gift of all: a true and forever friend.
