A heartbreaking verse novel about love and death, grief and beauty, and the very individual ways we make sense of it all.

She collects dead creatures and lovingly cares for them, hoping to preserve them, to save them from disintegration. Her father understands – Lottie has a scientific mind, he thinks. Her aunt wants it to stop, and she goes to cruel lengths to make sure it does. And her mother? Lottie's is searching for a way to be close to her.
