THE UNRESOLVED is J.G. Sandom's first Young Adult (YA) novel, written under the pen name T.K. Welsh, published by Dutton (Penguin) in August, 2006.
The Washington Post said, "(Sandom) writes with a precision and delicacy unusual for YA fiction." School Library Journal said, "THE UNRESOLVED tells a remarkable story in a remarkable way." Horn Book Magazine called THE UNRESOLVED, "A decidedly unconventional ghost story ... (and) a tightly wound novel." Kirkus Reviews termed it, "A remarkable account." And Romantic Times magazine said, "THE UNRESOLVED is a book you shouldn't pass up."
Inspired by the tragic events of 9/11, THE UNRESOLVED reaches back into history to explore what was, until recently, the greatest disaster in New York City history. At once a ghost story, a courtroom drama, an examination of immigrant life, and a tale of love, redemption and revenge, THE UNRESOLVED dramatizes how a single life – and death – can have a powerful influence on history.
Ranked one of the Top Ten Children's Books of 2006 by the Washington Post, THE UNRESOLVED has also been named a 2007 Association of Jewish Libraries Notable Book for Teens by the Sydney Taylor Book Award Committee, which recognized only six works in Jewish teen literature this year. The novel was nominated for the 2006 Cybils literary awards, and for the 2007 Best Books for Young Adults (BBYA) by the American Library Association. It's currently featured as one of the Best Teen Books of the year 2006 at BarnesAndNoble.com.
