Dear 2020

Letters to a Year That Changed Everything

ABOUT THE AUTHOR

Chris Palmore

Chris Palmore

Chris Palmore’s writing comes from a deeply personal place.

After writing a letter of love and gratitude to his mother in 2013, he lost her to cancer four months to the day later. Nine years later, he found himself back in the same hospice hospital where his mother had passed, this time watching his sister go.

Chris writes from grief, gratitude, presence, and perspective, helping readers slow down, hold tightly to what matters, and recognize the sacred weight of ordinary life.

THE BOOK

About Dear 2020

Dear 2020 is a collection of letters to the year that changed many people’s lives.

The contributors to this anthology have shared not only what happened to them and how the year affected their lives but also how they coped with it and what they learned from it.

It’s a book about perspective, about life and death and everything in between, about “the other side of lockdown,” about lessons learned, about growth, about living life.

People from various parts of the world have written about their challenges, their fears, their hope, their loss, and their gratitude.

This book came out of necessity, the necessity of letting others spray some water on the fires that have been set during 2020… because “life is simply too short and too precious to wish away a year.”
