Synopsis: So many unanswered questions weigh down thirteen-year-old C.J. As he struggles to understand why his father walked out. His father is back now, though C.J. Is not as quick to forgive as the other members of his family. He still feels the weight of responsibility that fell on his shoulders when Daddy was gone, and hes not prepared to give that up. But C.J.S anger is making him a stranger in his own home, and instead of life seeming better now that Daddy has returned, it feels worse. Through powerful poems, Hope Anita Smith chronicles the nuanced emotions of a family that is slowly learning to heal and put the pieces back together.
