Review by: Faye Hicks on Oct. 24, 2012 :
This touching short story provides intimate insights into the devastating grief associated with losing a child. If you have a friend or family member who has, or is, going thought this ordeal, this story will help you to understand and be more effective in your support. If you are going through this yourself, you may find it easier to ask your friends and family to read this story, rather than trying to express these difficult emotions directly.

I so enjoyed A Small Steel Box. I look forward to many more books by Sylvia Morice.
