About this listen
The Pen Pal follows the story of Shiloh Ray, who is a military wife, new mother, and college student. Shiloh also suffers from postpartum depression and overall loneliness from living in rural Alaska, far away from any family or friends.
Shiloh then breaks out of her comfort zone and signs up for a pen pal. Weeks pass and she is matched with Penelope Young. This is where her whole life will change. Shiloh and Penelope become the best of friends and write letters every week. Until one day, the letters just stop. Penelope has vanished.
Shiloh cannot handle the thought of losing her best friend, so she flies across the country to figure out what she did wrong, or what happened to Penelope. Once she gets there, she finds out from Penelope’s husband that she is missing. Shiloh takes matters into her own hands, finding out the truth of what happened to her friend. Shiloh will follow clues and figure out the truth, no matter the cost. She also meets a few unexpected friends along the way to help her. Shiloh and her friends will face many challenges and have to race against the clock to find out the truth before someone else covers it up.
Trigger warning! There is talk of suicidal thoughts and mental illness.

Fantastic book
The Pen Pal
By Storm Young
So the Pen Pal was the first book I used on Audible and it was an experience. I am so used to reading paperbooks or ebooks. I thought to myself, where would I listen to this. When I’m reading, I usually cave out time for it because I have a lot of things going on in my life, but then realize I have time in the morning when I’m on the bike at Gym and driving somewhere or cooking dinner. I finished this book in 24 hours, which is a record for me. Each time I hit that play button, it was hard to hit stop because I was curious where the story was going.
Now, I did not expect to love this book as much as I did. The narrator did a fantastic job bringing the story to life with southern twang. And Storm pulls you into the story from the start with the amazing Shiloh and listening to her struggles.
The book is about a young military wife living is Alaska with a young baby while her husband is posted away. She’s struggling from the baby blues and Depression and has some pretty dark thoughts. One day while scrolling on facebook she sees a post about Pen Pals and figures to give it a shot. She looks for any sort of human connection - luckily she gets a match of another young mum whose from the same state she grew up in. The two hit it off – and bond over letters as each week passes. They become close. Then one day Shiloh’s penpal Penelope stops writing to her. Which makes Shiloh sad and concerned to what happened.
She gets this gut feeling that something isn’t right. So when Shiloh gets the chance to fly to the town that Penelope is living, she discovers that her best friend is missing and has been for a little while. So Shiloh starts poking around the town to try and find her friend and gets on the bad side of a few people but also makes some amazing friends.
Shiloh soon discovers that not everyone in small towns is so friendly. And will some clues that she discovers help her find her friend?
Thank you Storm Young, Author for giving me the opportunity to listen to the amazing fictional world you created and I am looking forward to the series you create. If you’re looking for a new Mystery thriller, put this one on your list.
