Query: Very Compelling

Even though the author indicates in the preface that the middle section could be skipped, I couldn't do it. Although I was about 30 years older than the author when my parents died within 10 months of each other I found myself drawn to and identifying with his reactions. And recognized the additional complexity of his coming of age at the same time as having become his brother's parent. This book was well worth the time of reading--you don't often see a memoir or autobiography by someone so young who has such insight.
