The emotions are never false, but they're rarely dramatic, either, and the rather stiff dialogue is spoken by characters who are never more than the sum of their situations.Access-restricted-item true Addeddate 16:03:16 Boxid IA40028822 Camera Sony Alpha-A6300 (Control) Collection_set printdisabled External-identifier This is an example of the novel as a therapeutic tool. They grow apart and even seek emotional solace-though never sinfully-in the arms of others. The rest of the novel shows Laura and Trace grieving in their different ways (unsurprisingly, she's emotional and he's not). When the family goes on summer vacation, Annie is killed in a horseback-riding mishap. Their youngest child, Annie, is a bright, beautiful and slightly rebellious 16-year-old, who may or may not be having sex with her new boyfriend, but who is definitely tired of her father being so distant and her mother being so prying.

Their sons, Bart and Philip, are both nice college-age kids. Martha Hickman Found 239 people in Tennessee, Texas and 42 other states. Her husband, Trace, is a kindly, if dry, philosophy professor so consumed by his work that Laura often feels he isn't listening when she recounts her admittedly mundane daily tasks. The central character is Laura Randall, a full-time housewife who gave up her career as a graphic artist to raise her children. Drawing from her own experience, Hickman, author of the nonfiction Healing After Loss: Daily Meditations for Working through Grief, has written an earnest first novel about how a family copes with the accidental death of a child.
