Synopsis

Dear Tracey I don`t know why I`m answering your ad, to be honest. It`s not like I`m into pen pals, but it`s a boring Sunday here, wet, everyone`s out, and I thought it`d be something different... Dear Mandy, Thanks for writing. You write so well, much better than me. I put the ad in for a joke, like a dare, and yours was the only good answer... Two girls begin a friendship - two strangers exchanging letters, getting to know each other a little better every time they write. Sometimes writing`s easier than talking. Secrets and fears seem safer on paper. And both girls have plenty of each - fears they hardly dare to confront;secrets that could blow their lives apart... `In a word, unforgettable.` Robert Cormier
