About This Book
Reach for this book when your teenager is wrestling with the 'why' of suffering or facing the daunting reality of a loved one's terminal illness. This story follows fifteen-year-old Grace, whose father left the family, leading her to abandon her faith. However, as she navigates a complicated home life and a budding romance, she finds herself drawn back into spiritual questioning through her relationship with an elderly friend. The core of the narrative focuses on the heavy moral weight of end-of-life care and the concept of dying with dignity. It is a deeply empathetic look at the intersection of religion, grief, and the difficult choices we make out of love. While the themes are sophisticated, the tone remains grounded in the relatable chaos of teenage life, making it an excellent bridge for discussing ethics and faith with older middle schoolers and high school students.
