This was a great quick read. I’m a big fan of Prosek’s work, so I picked this up blindly without realizing it was written for a young audience. It’s a good account of dealing with loss on several levels. It doesn’t offer closure on all of the issues it raises, which is good. The most important lesson from these issues for a kid is not closure, but survival. Divorce and other forms of loss are survivable, even if that’s hard to see. It was the perfect read for my recent flight.
