Home from far by Jean Little

Home from far by Jean Little, illustrated by Jerry Lazare. Little, Brown and Company, 1965.

Jenny's twin brother, Michael, dies in a car accident and Jenny loses part of her identity, that of one of the Macgregor twins. Jenny's parents foster a brother and sister. As the brother's name is Mike, and he is close in age to Jenny, many emotions are relived. Jenny believes that her mother didn't grieve for Michael and has, therefore, hidden most of her feelings. However Jenny learns that is was not the case and the family begins to re-establish itself.
