In the spooked October air of a small, New England town, the narrator introduces Maggie, a troubled young woman who takes her own life. In the wake of suicide, the haunting questions are often, "Why?" and "What could I have done to prevent this?"
Poet Christine Andersen takes the reader on a journey to explore what happened to Maggie--why she gave up--and reflects on how we all might reach a breaking point. These poems of love, loss, and survival--a testament to how the human heart heals, wading through introspection and grief--the shock, anger, despair and longing. For anyone who has known deep pain, this book will befriend you.
