(2) YA Black teen Miah was tragically killed at the end of If You Come Softly; with this sequel, it's as if Woodson couldn't bear to leave her characters without seeing them through the aftermath. Not ready to let go, Miah keeps tabs on the living; in the end, as his family and friends comfort one another, Miah is there watching, whispering in the wind that they are loved.
