YOU HAVE SEVEN MESSAGES

Stewart Lewis's debut novel, YOU HAVE SEVEN MESSAGES, follows Luna, the teenage daughter of a successful film director and a fashion model. It's been a year since Luna's mother was hit and killed by a taxi in New York's East Village. Luna, her father, and her little brother, Tile, are still struggling with grief. When Luna goes to clean out her mother's old studio, she's stunned to find her mom's cell phone there - charged and holding seven unheard messages. As Luna begins to listen to them, she begins to question everything she's been told about her parent's relationship and who her mother was. With the help of the boy next door - a very cute cello player - Luna begins to investigate what she knows of her mother. She begins to understand the complications of relationships and life, and the desire for adults to protect their children from the sometimes harsh and difficult realities of being a grown-up.
