The Science of Breakable Things by Tae Keller

5.0

“Science is asking questions. And living is not being afraid of the answer.”

A young Natalie sets out on a scientific mission to save her mom from an illness that has changed everything. She finds unexpected answers in the truth, love and hope in friendship, and courage to keep trying despite “breakable things.”

Keller gives us a glance into a young mind learning about depression, life, suffering, and hope. With beautiful images and metaphors for flowers and plants which bloom or fade in their seasons, depression is brought into a speakable reality, one that is brimming with hope for new life and meaning.
