Reach for this book when your teenager is navigating the complex, often silent aftermath of a family tragedy or struggling with the weight of things left unsaid. Set in a rugged Australian mining town, the story follows ten year old Jennifer as she pieces together the mystery of her older sister Beth's life and sudden death. It is a deeply lyrical exploration of how grief can fracture a family and how the search for truth can eventually lead to healing. While Jennifer is young, the themes of rebellion, secrets, and the transition into adolescence make this most appropriate for middle and high school readers. It serves as a profound mirror for those feeling isolated by their own family's silence or 'shame' following a loss, providing a path toward understanding that even those we love have private worlds we may never fully know.
