Summary
A collection of stories dealing with different kinds of loss experienced by young people reveals how youth respond and change after the death of a parent, the disappearance of a friend, and the end of a relationship.
Amazon.com description: Product Description: "In adolescence we feel our losses as if for the first time, with a greater depth of pain and drama than we are aware of having experienced ever before," says James Howe in his introduction to this stunning collection of short stories in which some of today's most celebrated authors of fiction for young adults explore the many faces of loss - the common thread they share and the hope that is born through change.
