A novel about fatherhood, grief, unanswerable questions, and the small, magical moments that make up life.
Keith has always striven to break rules as he navigates full-time parenting and supports the career of his successful photographer wife. Her unexpected illness and death leaves both him and his son Charlie in bits. When they take a road trip, a journey begins that does not end when they return home.
Keith must deal with revelations that complicate his grief, even as Charlie's response is unsettling. Together, father and son connect with loved ones, strangers, and each other. Life's magical and mystical moments emerge. Is it enough to heal, though?

She has also published nine books for young readers, including the Canadian Library Association's Young Adult Book of the Year finalist, Mud Girl. She lives in Vancouver.
