The Postcard

Mariela Dabbah
When April Ashcroft stumbles upon a cryptic confession on PostSecret.com—“Everyone who knew me before 9/11 believes I’m dead”—she’s shaken to her core. Could her identical twin, Lara, who supposedly perished in the attacks, still be alive? April's search uncovers a hidden life: Lara faked her death, changed her identity, and started a family in Seattle. As the sisters reunite, long-buried secrets unravel—Lara's sexuality, her struggle with depression, and the reasons behind her disappearance. Told through the perspectives of April, Lara, and their mother, The Postcard explores the cost of silence, the complexity of family loyalty, the lasting impact of 9/11 on those who lived in its shadow, the consequences of mistakes that can never be undone, and the way in which secrets impact our entire families. When truth and love collide, each person must decide what they're willing to risk to heal.
