PAPERBACK COMING JAN. 2!

“The novel is as poignant as it is funny, as thought-provoking as it is witty, and searingly relatable.” — Washington Post

“Zigman's tenderly told novel is a realistic rendering of what it's like to care for and love a disabled child, and the toll that love takes on parents and siblings. It's also about the bonds that sisters share and how, in the case of the Mellishmans, unresolved grief nearly breaks them...[but] laced with the promise of a brighter future.” — Minneapolis Star Tribune

“Zigman is terrific at melding heartbreaking situations with humorous, evocative details without once veering off into saccharine sentimentality…Zigman’s ability to elicit the transformative magic that happens when people find true connection with others makes these pages glow.”  — Boston Globe

"A graceful swan dive into the question of how a family rearranges itself after the death of a child…a brave and heartfelt book of truths." — New York Times Book Review
