Julie Reece Deaver's classic novel of loss and gradual acceptance has touched the hearts of ordinary readers for more than twenty years.

But after a terrible accident, Morgan suddenly has to face life alone. Without Jimmy around, though, it’s like the best part of her has died. How could he do this to her?

This moving novel has been used in grief counseling teen in counseling centers around the country, and it remains as fresh and poignant as when it was first published.

Ratings and reviews

I read this book several times in high school. I found it again and I had to read it once more. This book is definitely a tear jerker and it is filled with compassion. The story teach you how to love unconditionally and cope with losing a loved one.

First read it in middle school, more than 10 years later I still love and enjoy this book. In my top 5!

This is my favorite book I have ever read and get this, the last number of the last page in my birthday. 214 Baby
