This is a book that deals with the death of a baby and the impact of the family's place of home. The baby appeared calm and complacent, which masked underlying heart issues. The mother and father were happy for the arrival of a son after the birth of three daughters. The repercussions of the son's death is going to impact the father's livelihood in a small town by moving to Philadelphia for his uncle's funeral home. Not only will this death impact family relationships, it will change homes and will change occupations. The family is setting out on a tough journey, which will hopefully lead to healing and recovery.
The writing was especially moving when the scene was developed for the mother grieving at her baby's grave site. The excerpt that I read enticed me to want to read more to learn if there is healing that can take place.
