Synopsis

The sudden loss of her beloved aunt struck Mallory with a crushing weight, yet her sadness soon twisted into anger. At the funeral, she found herself dismayed by the apparent lack of gravity displayed by family and friends, as if Aunt Trudy’s passing were somehow less significant than it felt to her. Mallory believed she had lost not just an aunt, but a dear friend, and she was deeply bewildered that no one else appeared to share the depth of her grief.
