YA
Discovering that she had a twin brother who died, sixteen-year-old Emma becomes determined to find his grave. She enlists her neighbor Peter to help, and on their road trip they discover much about themselves and each other. All the thinking, remembering, and introspection by the protagonists slows down the story, but there are authentic moments of connection between the characters.
