Preview: Hear it

No one really understands. Does Jacks mom really think going to Black Jack Jetty is a good idea? Will a beach visit really make him forget about his dads death? How could surrounding himself with loads of cousins and aunts and uncles fix anything? What kind of ridiculous adventure would make this all right? Beautifully and sensitively written, Black Jack Jetty follows Jack as he copes with his fathers death and journeys through his grief, anger, anxiety, and guilt. A tip sheet for kids to help cope with a parents death follows the story.
