The Survival Kit by Donna Freitas


When Roses's mother dies, she leaves Rose a survival kit. Inside Rose finds an iPod, a picture of peonies, a crystal heart, a paper star, and a paper kite. The survival kit helps Rose and her family move on after her mother's death. But moving on isn't easily: her father drinks, she keeps her boyfriend at a distance, and her brother is at college. There are no easy answers to moving on, but she does so by making small changes starting with a new boyfriend who is still dealing with the death of his father. A well-written book for anyone dealing with loss.
