Notes Never Sent takes place around the extraordinary life of Morissa, a twenty-one year old Jersian who is a Guinness World Record breaker, a singer on MTV, and a writer for Entertainment Weekly's Community. However, life was never easy for Morissa from losing loved ones to braving illness. Notes Never Sent follows Morissa from childhood through young adulthood in a series of letters and anecdotes shaped by actual events that all readers will relate to. By telling stories of the people who encourage her writing, readers are treated to an assortment of funny, heart wrenching, and emotional stories that have one defining inspiration.
