THE ANATOMY OF WINGS
Author(s): FOXLEE KAREN
Ten-year-old Jennifer Day lives in a small mining town full of secrets. Trying to make sense of the sudden death of her teenage sister, Beth, she looks to the adult world around her for answers.
As she recounts the final months of Beth's life, Jennifer sifts through the lies and the truth, but what she finds are mysteries, miracles, and more questions. Was Beth's death an accident? Why couldn't Jennifer--or anyone else--save her?
Through Jennifer's eyes, we see one girl's failure to cross the threshold into adulthood as her family slowly falls apart.

Starred Review, Booklist, January 1 & 15th, 2009:
"Foxlee captures the small ways that humans reveal themselves, the mysterious intensity of female adolescence, and the surreal quiet of a grieving house, which slowly and with astonishing resilience fills again with sound and music."
