Letters to a Young Contrarian
A witty, wise, biting, and completely individual meditation on what it means to think, live, and be to the contrary. In the book that he was born to write, provocateur and best-selling author Christopher Hitchens inspires future generations of radicals, gadflies, mavericks, rebels, angry young (wo)men, and dissidents. Who better to speak to that person who finds him or herself in a contrarian position than Hitchens, who has made a career of disagreeing in profound and entertaining ways.

But when Wendy discovers a ghostly message written in the frost on her window, Gilda realizes her friend's life could be in danger, and the key to solving the mystery may be in learning the truth behind the untimely death of a previous piano virtuoso.
