About This Book
When twelve-year-old Willa Jo climbs onto the roof at Aunt Patty's house
to see the sunrise, she never expects the conflicted feelings she's had
for three weeks to crystallize into a stubbornness that will keep her
there all day. But once she's up there, Willa Jo can't seem to come
down. Coming down means having to explain herself. And how can she
explain?
After Baby died, Little Sister stopped talking. Then Aunt Patty took the
girls away from Mom to give her time to pull herself together. Aunt
Patty has a million rules about everything, and she seems to have
forgotten that Willa Jo and Little Sister are trying to cope with losing
Baby, too. And missing Mom something fierce.
In this beautifully-structured novel--which takes place all in one
day--two generations of big sisters struggle with what being a big
sister means. Couloumbis masterfully shows us the pervasive feelings
that can take hold when tragedy strikes and the slow, subtle healing
that comes when one can finally get near to the source.
