Jules and Sylvie are sisters (separated only by one year) still dealing with the loss of their mother. While Jules barely remembers her mother; Sylvie feels guilt for not being able to get help in time. On a snowy spring day, Sylvie goes to visit the Slip to make a wish...but she never comes back. At the same time of her disappearance, a fox cub is born to finish something that isn't finished.

What happens after you die? Maybe you turn into wind. Maybe you turn into stars. Maybe a Fox.
This story of 2 sisters and a fox written by 2 authors melded together depicts lives melded together even in grief.

Well this was one giant bucket of tragic and I cried pretty much the whole time I was reading it, but it was so beautifully written and so poignant and it's a fast read so it's absolutely worth it if you have the spoons to deal with a book about the grief of losing someone dear to you.

The structure of this gently rendered novel felt like a stretched out coil--each successive chapter loops back to pick up the story a few or more moments before the end moment of the prior chapter. But each chapter changes perspective (Sylvie, Julies, Sam, Senna the fox) and this is not greatly successful, IMHO. I was generally underwhelmed by the entire story even though it was lovely and gentle and sweetly ambitious. BUT, I will not hesitate to suggest this to young readers who like animals, realistic fiction, and a bit of adventure.
