This memoir is about a retired couple, Roger and Ginny, who live in New England who take on the roles of parents again when their grown daughter dies of a freak heart condition. The daughter leaves behind a widower husband and three small children. Roger and Ginny move in with the widower and help him take care of the children. This book is a short and sweet memoir of parents trying to make sense of death and trying to explain it to the children in their lives. I read this book in just a few days; it only has 166 pages.
