I don't have words to explain how profoundly important these books are to me.

There's love, death, mystery, and self growth.

For life. So how could life be so right and then be so wrong? After a terrible accident, Morgan suddenly has to face life alone. Without Jimmy around, though, it's like the best part of her has died. How could he do this to her? And why is love so hard?
