After her mother dies, sixteen-year-old Rose works through her grief by finding meaning in a survival kit that her mother left behind. - Baker & Taylor
Receiving a playlist of songs and several symbolic objects to give her courage when her mother dies, Rose explores each object, from a paper star for wish-making to a paper kite for letting go, and turns for comfort to family gardener and school hockey star Will. By the author ofThis Gorgeous Game . - McMillan Palgrave
When Rose's mom dies, she leaves behind a brown paper bag labeled Rose's Survival Kit. Inside the bag, Rose finds an iPod, with a to-be-determined playlist; a picture of peonies, for growing; a crystal heart, for loving; a paper star, for making a wish; and a paper kite, for letting go.
As Rose ponders the meaning of each item, she finds herself returning again and again to an unexpected source of comfort. Will is her family's gardener, the school hockey star, and the only person who really understands what she's going through. Can loss lead to love?
