This book is written from Annie's point of view, two years after the murder of her older sister Mog. Details of the time are referred to in flashbacks. Annie's mother reacts to the death by denying Mog's death and acting as if it hadn't happened, or that Mog hadn't really existed. Two years on Annie now has to make her own way and not follow in Mog's footsteps. It is at this point Annie needs counselling. By setting the time two years after the death the author shows how grief is a long-term issue and that grief is often hardest the second year.
