(3) YA A teenage boy is anguished when his mother falls into a permanent coma after attempting suicide. This novel in verse uses imagery of birds in cages and blooming and withering flowers as the boy contemplates what it means to be alive. Readers will be touched by the boy's questions about whether living on life support is really life at all.
