    About this audiobook

    Acclaimed author Alison McGhee poetically addresses the stages of grief and the importance of family and friends in this unforgettable story. After a tragic car accident, Rose Latham's older sister Ivy lies comatose in a convalescent home. Rose is forced to move on with her life, returning to school to face whispers and avoidance. Stuck between grief and hope, she seeks relief through evening trips to the gorge with different boys. But with the help of her fatherly neighbor William T. and classmate Tom Miller, Rose may find a way to grieve and move on.

      This book was amazing. I loved the writing style as it add more emphasis on the situation and made the character's views on her life that much more intense. This is one of the only books that actually made me cry, it was so sad, but it had a somewhat-happy ending as she finds love and forgiveness and moves on.

      This book made me want to make 1000 paper cranes.

      It was sad and depressing. But I liked it!

      Rose and her sister, Ivy, are involved in a car accident in the Adirondacks that has left Ivy in a coma. Rose visits her sister in the hospital daily, and observes how those around her deal with the trauma that has shattered their world. As Rose finds ways to deal with the pain she is going through, McGhee's lyrical prose beautifully describes the inner-workings of Rose's mind and heart. A line that has stayed with me, months after I finished reading the book: "My heart is breaking."This book will stay with you long after you put it down.
