This spare and stunning new work is a window into a family’s grief, a poignant reminder of the unending boundaries of love, a vehicle for memory, and a place where words and music meet to make room for the aching heart.

In the same way that the most beautiful and most terrible things often stand side by side, so this story examines a road winding from tragedy to grace.
