This book failed its mission. While it is supposed to be a cautionary tale about how we treat others, it ends up being the story of someone who was not taught how to cope with life crisis and tragedy. I relate to the character with some of my life circumstances. However, people need to be taught how to handle crisis. Suicide is not an option.
