One of Amazons Best Books of December 2019! Fans of Jodi Picoult and Fredrik Backman will fall for this tenderhearted debut mystery following a young girl on a quest to save her family. I know my brother is dead. But sometimes Mama gets confused. Theres plenty about the grownup world that six-year-old Aoife doesnt understand. Like what happened to her big brother Theo and why her mama is in the hospital instead of home where she belongs. Uncle Donny says she just needs to be patient, but Aoifes sure her mama wont be able to come home until Aoife learns what really happened to her brother. The trouble is no one wants to talk about Theo because he was murdered. But by whom? With her imaginary friend Teddy by her side and the detecting skills of her nosy next door neighbor, Aoife sets out to uncover the truth about her family. But as her search takes her from the banks of Theos secret hideout by the river to the rooftops overlooking Detroit, Aoife will learn that some secrets cant stay hidden forever and sometimes the pain we bury is the biggest secret of them all. Driven by Aoifes childlike sincerity and colored by her vivid imagination, All Thats Bright and Gone illuminates the unshakeable bond between families--and the lengths well go to bring our loved ones home.
