In 2002, Alice Sebold published one of her best selling books, The Lovely Bones. The story takes place in Pennsylvania, 1973, and focuses on a young girl who has been murdered by her neighbor. She watches from a heaven-like place as her family grieves and searches in vein for her body, while the killer lives on in anonymity. A touching story of loss and moving on, The Lovely Bones covers a tragic tale in one of the most unique and ingenious perspectives; the victim.

After years of acclaim and appraisal, The Lovely Bones is set to be released in theaters December 11, 2009.
