<DIV><B>An oddball newspaper editor advises eccentric readers&mdash;and reckons with her own painful past in this psychological thriller</B><BR /> &#160;<BR /> Willis Digby is the letters editor at<I> Sis</I> (<I>Sisterhood</I>) magazine, a job that drives her mad. A Miss Lonelyhearts for feminists, Willis plows through correspondence that fluctuates from the predictable, boosterish boilerplate to letters challenging conventional notions of sanity, struggling to find a balance in her selections for publication in the landmark journal. Memorable letters include those from a woman who sprinkles cat food into her husband&rsquo;s breakfast cereal each morning, one from a woman convinced that the man on the label of her cleaning products is harassing her, and endless gender-specific descriptions of peculiar sexual proclivities.<BR /> &#160;<BR /> As Digby strikes up an unconventional friendship with one of her correspondents, she also confronts a harrowing childhood incident that has come back to haunt her. At once witty and powerful, <I>Dear Digby </I>is a thrilling tragicomedy that explores the shifting borders of the self, or selves, that define individual sanity and conventional thought, and redefine communication among lost souls.</DIV>
