Overell, J.J.
Published by Lutterworth Press, 2000
A book of twelve short stories about different issues. The story 'Josie', told in the first person by her big sister, tells us about Josie's death when she was only three. She had been born with a heart problem. Beautifully written, the story covers the facts of Josie's death, other people's reactions, her mum's difficulties in letting go, and most of all, the older sister's feelings. Sensitive and sad, but ultimately hopeful: 'I believe she is still Josie, only somewhere else'.
Age: 10+
