Finally, a middle school shooting kills the caring brother who helped her cope with her social and emotional challenges. Although her father is devastated and the townsfolk are still reeling from the recent tragedy, Caitlin can't comprehend their emotional pain.

On her quirky journey of healing, she discovers things aren't all black and white and that the world is filled with colors--both messy and beautiful
