Dear Miss Metropolitan

Like The Nickel Boys by Colson Whitehead, this extraordinary debut creates powerful art from great tragedy. We’re still thinking about this haunting and heartbreaking story of three young women, Fern, Gwin and Jesenia, held prisoner under horrifying circumstances — and the community’s response to the girls’ trauma. This is an indelible story about grief and rage, crime and punishment, that also asks us to think about what healing means, what it looks like for individuals and communities alike.
