Most people do something that they later regret. When that something indirectly causes someone’s death, the regret can be insurmountable. Nicky’s life is turned upside down after the death of her brother, Jack. Nicky blames herself and her mother encourages that blame, while her father does his best to support his daughter and a family friend tries everything he can think of to convince Nicky that her life needs to go on. This is Nicky’s story. From devastation and self-destruction to soul-searching and understanding, Nicky finally coming to terms with Jack’s death, and accepts that she has a life and she has a partner, if she’s willing to open the door and let him in.The author did a credible job of describing the emotions, the loneliness, the confusion and the self-imposed solitude that often result from an inability to forgive an accident that had tragic results.
