Comienza como una tarea para la clase de inglés: escribir una carta a un difunto. Laurel elige a Kurt Cobain porque su hermana, May, lo amaba. Y murió joven, al igual que May.
Pronto, Laurel tiene un cuaderno lleno de cartas para personas como Janis Joplin, Amy Winehouse, Amelia Earhart, Heath Ledger y más, aunque nunca le da una sola a su maestra. Escribe sobre comenzar la escuela secundaria, entablar nuevas amistades, enamorarse por primera vez, aprender a vivir con su familia dividida. Y, finalmente, sobre el abuso que sufrió mientras se suponía que May la estaba cuidando.
