DescriptionThe mysteries of life and death underlie this true story of a family losing its youngest member, Kelly, to cancer. Her mother feels torn, as part of her wants to quickly end the unbearably tortuous interim, and part keeps longing to hold her again, to apprehend with eyes and heart for all of time, to pin her down, bring the child safely to her side, keep enough of her before the looming, incomprehensible departure.

Poignant are Kelly's diary entries, her Christian family's efforts to live as normally as possible, and, through it all, her mother's persistent hope, faith, and love.
