But that world is destroyed in one terrifying moment when her son is killed in a car accident just outside their home. Suddenly alone, surrounded by memories, Elise faces a future that feels unspeakably bleak--and pointless. Lost, angry, and desolate, Elise rejects everyone who tries to reach out to her. But as despair threatens to engulf her, she realizes, to her horror, that she cannot join her son: She must take care of his beloved cat. At first she attempts to carry out this task entirely by herself, shut away from a frightening new reality that seems surreal and incomprehensible. But isolation proves to be impossible, and before long others insinuate themselves into her life--friends, enemies, colleagues, neighbors, a former lover--bringing with them the fragile beginnings of survival."--Publisher's website. 521 1 $a Ages 18-UP 521 2 $a College Freshman-Up 650 $a Parental grief $v Fiction. 650 $a Single mothers $v Fiction. 650 $a Cats $v Fiction. 941 $a 4 952 $l GEPG771 $d 20210722034600.0 952 $l BOPG851 $d 20181006071704.0 952 $l MXPG943 $d 20180720041924.0 952 $l DIPB173 $d 20180707022228.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=CE5B4CA49C2311E2B8D4017CDAD10320Initiate Another SILO Locator Search
