A parent might reach for this book when their teenager is struggling to process a significant loss or feels profoundly isolated after a traumatic family event. Through the raw and honest journal entries of sixteen year old Steve Nugent, the story explores the heavy realities of grief, mental health, and the difficult path toward self acceptance while living in a residential treatment facility. It is a deeply emotional journey that validates the messiness of healing. Parents should be aware that the narrative handles mature themes including suicide and terminal illness with unflinching realism. It is best suited for older teens who are ready for a serious, contemplative look at the human spirit's capacity to endure. This book offers a mirror for those who feel 'broken' and a bridge for parents to understand the complex internal world of a grieving adolescent.
