The cover is intriguing; are the boots empty because their wearer is gone (Michael) or do they signify a newfound love of being and working outside for Billy? Could this be the project he becomes involved with? Perhaps a gardening group to help young people with depression or other mental health issues?
The book blurb definitely made me want to find out more and having read the preview, I am eager to learn more about the characters introduced in the first look.
Hopefully Billy finds some peace through his weightloss and improved wellbeing endeavours and perhaps as he feels better both about and within himself, so too will the rest of the family.
The author writes about the family's feelings of loss, grief and uncertainty in a thoughtful manner and whilst saddening in places, i can imagine that reading it at or after a time of loss may prove a useful aid to processing the mixed emotions felt.
