Dear stranger
Ellie Foster has always been an invisible presence in the sea of faces at her high school-quiet, unnoticed, and content to stay in the background. But when a mysterious letter appears in her locker one day, everything changes. The words are simple yet profound: "In a sea of faces, you stand out like a lighthouse-bright, steady, and impossible to ignore. I see you even when you don't see yourself." As Ellie grapples with the possibility that someone has noticed her, she's pulled into a whirlwind of mystery, curiosity, and a sense of connection she's never felt before. Who is the letter-writer, S? Why is she being singled out? With each new letter, Ellie starts to see herself in a different light, and her world begins to shift. Could this be the beginning of something more-something real? Dear Stranger is a story about finding the courage to be seen, to embrace who you truly are, and to discover that sometimes, the people who change our lives are the ones who know us best... even before we know them.
