About This Book
Reach for this book when your teenager is processing the loss of a mentor or grandparent and is using a big, creative dream to cope with their grief. It is a perfect fit for the creative soul who feels like a fish out of water in their current environment and is itching for independence. Sixteen-year-old Cat flees her Kentucky home for New York City to honor a pact she made with her late grandmother: to become a fashion designer. While the story is a fast-paced urban adventure, it deeply explores how we use our talents to stay connected to those we have lost. It handles themes of grief and self-discovery with a realistic, secular lens, making it an excellent choice for parents looking to open a dialogue about healthy ways to remember loved ones while building a personal identity.
