This story was originally published in Day One, a weekly literary journal dedicated to short fiction and poetry from emerging writers.
Alexandra's best friend, Kimmy, had been a chart-topping singer turned ruthless diva blogger. She'd even trash-talked Alexandra's first book - one of the many reasons for their estrangement.
So when Kimmy dies of a drug overdose, Alexandra decides to write her a letter remembering their insanely close childhood friendship and the adult choices that drove them apart, showing how some secrets come full circle - and make the divide too vast to bridge.
Original and compelling, Valediction is a story of friendship, desire, and moral ambiguity in a complicated world.
Genre: Literary Fiction
