After six-year old Janie Rose Pike dies in a tragic accident, her family is not the same. Mrs. Pike seldom speaks, while Mr. Pike is forced to come out of his long silence. And ten-year-old Simon is suddenly without a baby sister or an understanding of why she's gone. Those closest to this shattered family must learn to comfort them--and confront their own private shadows of hidden grief. If time cannot draw them out of the dark, then love may be their only hope....
