Booktalk:
Six months it's been. Six months since the love of my life died. Automobile wreck, no seat belt. Thrown from the car and...
My mom told me when I got home. I couldn't believe it. Couldn't face the loss. I withdrew. Skipped classes. Couldn't write anymore. Didn't care.
And the, amazingly, it all changed. Rosie came back. Into my life, into my room. Oh, I was the only one who could see or hear her...except for her dying grandmother. And, I couldn't feel her. But, I could talk to her and share with her. And, I'd do anything to make sure she didn't leave again.
