This quiet, verse-novel follows Georgia, a young artist who communicates with her deceased mother through a private journal.

It is a tender exploration of the 'messy' side of healing. Parents will appreciate how the book validates the longevity of grief while celebrating the power of creative outlets. Written in accessible poetry, it offers a gentle entry point for middle-grade readers to discuss loneliness, family bonds, and the search for self-identity after a tragedy.
