“You cry in your room. I cry in my room. Mom cries in Mom's room. And in the morning everyone pretends like they never cried once in their life.”
Teen Isabelle is grieving the loss of her dad, but what makes it even more heartbreaking is that no one - especially her mom - will talk about it or acknowledge the loss…

Just finished this book. I enjoyed reading this book. It was emotional but good. I rated this book a 3 out of 5 stars.
Compassionate and vulnerable and moving. A unique perspective, relayed respectfully. What an intelligent, resilient, caring woman this nurse/author is! Just one of the many wonderful people helping us mere mortals find comfort and hope through the last of our lives. I appreciate the glimpse into these personal and heartbreaking experiences. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Last year I mentioned our local library built a wind phone on their property. This week our local independent newspaper made a video about this one of a kind building in Vermont. My daughter, daughter-in-law, their best friend and the librarian spoke of how valuable it is and how much they use it. I thought folks might be interested in viewing the film. It's a surprisingly vulnerable video.

A short, emotional read about the roller coaster that is grief and how one handles loss in their own ways. The fact that this author was only 17 years old and had the depth of knowledge about life and loss capable to write this novel is just incredible. 5/5
