"Alfie Newton's mother is a devout Christian and her father is hardly ever home. And at sixteen, the only thing that had been holding her family together is suddenly gone– her terminally ill sister has finally died. As Alfie tells the story of the last year of her and her sister's life, she struggles to deal with her parents' crumbling marriage, her crisis of faith, and her pending adulthood which is complicated by her crush on an older man.
