This really packed a punch. A young girl who is reeling from her friend's suicide, so her parents send her to her maternal family in Japan where she learns to heal. In the progress of picking fruit from the orchard she focuses on picking fruit from the orchard, learning about her mother's past, and separating herself from the pain. Something turns things bitter again, but her healing, and her friends' healing shows the slow work it takes to live life again, even in the midst of the pain.
