A well-written memoir of the death of a young girl. Although, it's not written in a collection of memories, but rather in the lives of those who can't let her go. It's also a story about family and how, sometimes, we leave legacies that are not encouraging, but might be crippling to younger generations. The parents who obsessively worship their dead daughter seem to have been, in the process, unavailable to their other daughter. This is an unusual story, but one that has a resonating theme.
