Susie Salmon is a fourteen year-old girl from Philadelphia. She was raped and murdered by her neighbor, Mr. George Harvey. Susie is the main character and serves as the narrator in the story. Susie tells the story from her point of view from heaven. Susie saw her sister struggle through her depression, being known as the dead girl's sister. She watched as her parents drifted away from each other as they cope over her death and later watched in glee as they reconcile. Susie followed the life of her murderer and somewhat felt justified when he died of an accident while pursuing another victim. Susie finally finds her peace at the end of the story as she sees her family moving on without her, and her murderer finally gone.
