"The rest of the day blurs by and before the final bell, I sneak out and duck into the woods. I don't want to take the roads home, don't want to risk seeing anyone from school, especially Sarah, who informed me that while I've been in hiding, she's been reading up on loss and according to all the experts, it's time for me to talk about what I'm going through - but she, and the experts, and Gram, for that matter, don't get it. I can't. I'd need a new alphabet, one made of falling, of tectonic plates shifting, of the deep devouring dark." - The Sky Is Everywhere, by Jandy Nelson.
This quote represents how the main character Lennie feels about her sister's lost. The whole book is about how she overcomes all of it while starting to build a new life and growing as a person. In a way, loosing her older sister helps her find her own way.
