“A Summer to Die” by Lois Lowry

I don't know what she is now. A stranger, mostly. It's as if she has become a part of a different world, one that doesn't include me anymore.

—Lois Lowry in A Summer to Die

It is so good to have friends who understand how there is a time for crying and a time for laughing, and that sometimes the two are very close together.
