A beautiful story about loving through illness (MS), sisterhood, friendship, moving, and going back to one's roots. My 9-year-old and I thoroughly enjoyed the story and the imagery. While the theme of ghosts might be slightly unsettling for younger children, there's nothing explicitly frightening in the book. I feel it's important to clarify, as it's implied several times that the sister might die, she does not.
