He also describes another of the defining circumstances of his life – how an accident involving his drunken mother resulted in facial scars about which he is deeply self-conscious.
Seq then describes the early circumstances of his life – being half-Cherokee and half-white, being fatherless and separated from his imprisoned mother, and being sent to a number of care facilities. He comments that his intention in telling the story is not to find meaning or redemption in what happened, but to instead illustrate how those who have been left behind in the aftermath of death simply carry on with their lives. Seq begins his story with a description of the context of the story he is about to tell – how it took place “in the winter of 1989, when I was fifteen years old and a certain girl died in front of me” (1). The narrative unfolds from the first-person perspective of protagonist Seq as an adult telling the story of an important relationship he had in his youth, and how that relationship ended in death. The following version of this book was used to create this study guide: Hobson, Brandon.
