"You'll care for Michael, grieve over his losses and love the people he loves. A warm, satisfying book, one you won't forget." Patricia Reilly Giff, author ofPictures of Hollis Woods "Of all human emotions grief for the loss of a loved one may be the most profoundly felt and the most difficult to confront for people of any age. To a sensitive youngster it can be a life altering experience. Cynthia Cotten takes on such a challenge and in her illuminating new novel she guides her young hero (as well as the reader) in compassionate and constructive ways to face the passing of a loved one. This is a valuable book. I was deeply moved." Earl H. Hamner, Jr., author ofSpencer's Mountainand the creatorof the television seriesThe Waltons "This thoughtful, well-written novel would be an excellent comfort to any young reader dealing with the frailty of life. The fact that I found myself standing in the narrator's shoes, becoming him, learning to live with his loss and finding hope, is a testament to Cynthia Cotten's skill as a writer. I enjoyed this gem of a story very much."
