This is the story of a man who has so much loss in his life, it's almost as if he has no choice but to let it take over every thought he has.  His teenage daughter is testing him and his reaction to it is purely based on his previous experiences,...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/75697240">more...</a>]]></body>
