When Sofia lost her mother eight months ago, her friends were 100% there for her. But now it's a new year, and they're ready for Sofia to move on. The problem is that Sofia can't bounce back-she can't recharge like a cellphone. She decides to write Dear Kate, an advice columnist for Fifteen Magazine, and is surprised to receive a fast reply. Soon, the two are exchanging emails, and Sofia opens up and spills all, including a few worries that are totally embarrassing. But it turns out that not even advice columnists have all the answers. One day, Sofia learns a secret that flips her world upside down: Dear Kate shows up on her doorstep...with her dad...as his girlfriend... A novel about love, family, grief, and growing up, Speed of Life is the heartbreaking, heartwarming story of a girl who thinks her life is over when it's really just beginning.

Carol Weston has been the Dear Carol advice columnist at Girls' Life since 1994. Her sixteen books include Girltalk, The Ava and Pip series, and The Diary of Melanie Martin series. She lives in Manhattan.

Kristin Condon is an accomplished actress, dancer, movement artist, and narrator. A life-long lover of books (she even studied literature in college), she delights in bringing stories and characters to life in the sound booth. She holds an MFA in acting from the University of Southern California and currently lives in Brooklyn with her editor husband and their Australian Cattle Dog. Connect with her at KristinCondon.com and on Instagram @KristinCondon.
