"More than a stunning debut. It is the announcement of a bold new literary voice"
—Stephen Chbosky, author of The Perks of Being a Wallflower

Ever scenes you died it has been weird for me because whenever we have family reunions I always remember hearing you laugh or even having fun and it was always the best thing that made my day. It made me happy but now that you are gone I miss hearing that joy you always brought to the family. When our family was at your funeral I wanted to say something when I was at your coffin and here it is. “Paul Sharpshair it is a shame that you are gone right now you and Sam were my favorite cousin to hang out with and just to have fun like when we went into the woods by the baseball fields when we were very little. But what I’m trying to say is that you were the brightest most kind and most joyful Sharpshair to be around. when I heard you were gone I was in shock. I could not believe that the one Sharpshair that was always fun to hang out with was gone I just couldn’t believe it I just… I just had to take it in and accept it that you are gone and now I really hope that whatever you are doing up there you are bringing that joy and happiness with you up there. Rest in peace Paul and let God be with you
