VERDICT West's (The Things We Knew) compelling and heart-wrenching, rising-from-the ashes novel realistically delves into the tough issues of suicide, anger, and guilt with a touch of grace and hope. As with Julie Cantrell's The Feathered Bone, it will leave readers wrung out but satisfied.A tumultuous school year; an empty nester struggles to forgive; the trials and joys of parenting
