Starting middle school brings all the usual challenges - until the unthinkable happens, and Fern and her family must find a way to heal.
Twelve-year-old Fern feels invisible. It seems as though everyone in her family has better things to do than pay attention to her: Mom (when sheâÂÂs not meditating) helps Dad run the family restaurant; Sarah is taking a gap year after high school; and Holden pretends that Mom and Dad and everyone else doesnâÂÂt know heâÂÂs gay, even as he fends off bullies at school. Then thereâÂÂs Charlie: three years old, a surprise baby, the center of everyoneâÂÂs world. HeâÂÂs devoted to Fern, but heâÂÂs annoying, too, always getting his way, always dirty, always commanding attention. If it wasnâÂÂt for Ran, FernâÂÂs calm and positive best friend, thereâÂÂd be nowhere to turn. RanâÂÂs mantra, All will be well, is soothing in a way that nothing else seems to be. And when Ran says it, Fern can almost believe itâÂÂs true. But then tragedy strikes- and Fern feels not only more alone than ever, but also responsible for the accident that has wrenched her family apart. All will not be well. Or at least all will never be the same.
