Another interesting book from Ahern. Elizabeth is a woman whose mother abandoned her in childhood; and Elizabeth followed suit, by growing up and locking away her 'childish' feelings. Now she is caring for her sister's son (as her sister never quite grew up).

Enter Ivan, the imaginary friend. He is there to help the children who need him most. The surprising thing is, it's Elizabeth's inner child who needs him most. In befriending Ivan, Elizabeth can allow herself to feel like a child again -- and she can feel happy. Sometimes growing up means going back.
