About This Lesson
On the evening of September 24, 2004, sixteen-year-old Alicia María Betancourt was killed in a car accident. How would those left behind cope with such a sudden, devastating loss?

In this moving tribute to an extraordinary girl, readers will find a pathway through grief and a road map to remembrance. It is a book of comfort for all—teens and adults—who seek a way to ease the pain of losing someone they cherished. Discussion Questions and video interview by Lee & Low Books.
