Publisher's Synopsis
"Grief is a far country that we visit for a while when our loved ones go home. Sometimes our visit is a long one, and we have a hard time finding our way back. When we do, we carry the memories, not as a burden but as a treasure."
You're fourteen. Your mom has died and out of the blue your dad remarries. It's the first year of high school and you are a misfit. What do you do? Feisty Annie Gibson doesn't have it easy. Come along with her on her journey that year as she learns to cope. Set in the 1960's in western Oklahoma, and peopled with memorable characters, A FAR JOURNEY is a timeless story of learning to go on in the face of grief, acceptance, forgiveness, friendship and love.
