(2) 4-6 Thirteen-year-old Bird has traveled from Ohio to Alabama in search of her stepfather; Ethan has had a heart transplant; Jay is mourning the death of his brother (who was Ethan's donor). The lives of each of these three teen narrators intersect, under unusual circumstances and with lasting effects. Johnson's prose is eloquent and poetic in this spare, powerful novel about matters of the heart.
