Publisher Description:

Julie Reece Deaver's classic novel of loss and gradual acceptance has touched the hearts of ordinary readers for more than twenty years.

Morgan and Jimmy have been best friends forever, and know each other inside out. They do everything together--they even argue well. But after a terrible accident, Morgan suddenly has to face life alone. Without Jimmy around, though, it's like the best part of her has died. How could he do this to her?

This moving novel has been used in grief counseling teen in counseling centers around the country, and it remains as fresh and poignant as when it was first published.
