“There is someone out there rooting for you. You are not alone, in any Forest. You there, … we are rooting, cheering for you to live & thrive.”

With this novel in verse, McBride has created a beautiful modern fairytale depicting the struggles of a life lived with grief and depression, and how powerful stories and friendship are in weathering/overcoming those struggles.
