This is a story of love and continuity.

A cute story about a young girls' first love. ( )

Based upon one of Alice Walker's true experiences, this book tells the story of Mr Sweet, a neighbour who periodically "dies" when things get too much. Alice spends her life with the belief that she, and her siblings, hold the power over death, having saved Mr Sweet many times. Eventually, when she is 24, she cannot save him one last time. ( )
