Serafina both gives to and receives from her parents an understanding and fervent love. It\u2019s this nucleus of her family which supports her through all hardships. This is a thoroughly engrossing piece of imagined reality, guaranteed to whet the appetite for more such literature. It is also saturated with warmth in its tales of friendship, experiences that buoy the narrator even as she watches a baby brother fade into nothingness, blighting her faith in humanity.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Author:<\/strong> Ann E.
