Graphic: Animal death, Death, Drug abuse, and Abandonment
The main character experiments on mice in a lab as a part of her research. The experiments are details but also integral to the plot. She does honor then in a way that was extremely touching and meaningful. I would encourage people to experience this really quiet but moving book about science and belief.
