A touching portrait of grief and adolescence. Compounded are intricate layerings of a struggle with faith and a stirring of attraction that is forbidden by that same faith.

I enjoyed it all the more because I live within miles of the author's childhood home. The landmarks are familiar to me - I found myself curious about how it reads to others who don't know it.
