Kim hasn't named this series and I have no idea if she'll finish it, but what is there is worth it.

Just read it.

Beautiful in what it doesn't say.

You think she knows where she's taking you, you hope for an instant you're wrong, and then there it is. Infinitely sad.

A series of four stories about silent grief, guilt and comfort. Amazing.

A well written look at Josh and Amy with some good CJ thrown in.
