After the tragic death of her aunt Beth, Robyn and her family attempt to heal by traveling to Austria for a vacation. Robyn records their funny and often touching adventures in her diary, including her mother's first moments of waking from the overwhelming loss of her sister. Robyn's narrative voice convincingly captures her family's coping with the death of a loved one.
