There is no stronger bond than....what? Daisy isn't sure about her life anymore.

Daisy has friends, a boyfriend and is musically gifted, but it's all dictated by her little brother Steven, who is autistic. They all walk on eggshells, afraid to make any sudden moves, noises, or modifying a different routine that will spiral Steven into an outburst. No longer a child, Steven has gotten stronger and while his autism was more controlled when he was little, it has now become dangerous. Something had to give, and Steven will be leaving soon.

Part of Daisy wants to be happy. She can have her freedom back. part of Daisy wants to be happy. She can have her freedom back. Can the family survive this huge change in their lives or will they fall apart over this controversial decision that will make each one of them re-evaluate what their roles in life and family are?

Stasia Ward Kehoe writes a beautiful novel in verse about a topic that seems to only capture lurid headlines without looking at the entire situation a family goes through.
