Written by Jennifer Castle
Laurel doesn’t go for ice cream with her family and they don’t come home, EVER! The story goes from there and Laurel must find her way through the pain and sorrow and guilt. The book shares a really great journey of finding yourself and what you can and must do to get through grief. Really great read.
