Story5 out of 5 stars 6
Alexandra "Al" Silber seems to have everything: brilliance, beauty, and talent in spades. But when her beloved father dies after a decade-long battle with cancer when she is just a teenager, it feels like the end of everything. Lost in grief, Al and her mother hardly know where to begin with the rest of their lives. Into this grieving house burst Al’s three friends from theatre camp, determined to help out as only drama students know how - and they’re moving in for the duration.

Alexandra's book weaves into her chronological narrative of a loved one's lost and found life a festival of genre-bending anecdotes, side trips, puzzles, and, yes, even plays, which gives the reader as real a journey through the roller-coaster world of grief as one would hope for but could never predict. it reminds me of the saying, "In the midst of life we are in death, " except a better way of epitomizing Alexandra's account of her tenacious journey might be, "In the midst of death we are in life."
