Maybe a Fox by Alison McGhee, Kathi Appelt

4.0

Sweet, sad story of two sisters who have lost their mother to sudden illness. When the older sister disappears near a river and is presumed dead, life shuts down. In a parallel story, a fox mother has three babies, one of whom is special. She is a Kennen, a special spirit, and she is drawn to the younger sister and her pain. I don't really know how else to describe it, but it is wonderful.
