"The accident happened in the spring of '96. I woke in a sweat. The telephone was ringing. It was Prissy. Cody was dead." Pam Bustin, Mostly Happy, pg.256
Cody was killed in a car accident at age.7, by his father who was drunk driving. The main character in this book, Bean, was Cody's aunt. They had a really close and speical relationship. This hits really close to home, because before I was born, my Aunt Karen was killed by a reckless driver. Karen had a special relationship with each of my family members as well. When Cody died Bean went into a pit of anger and self-blame. Bean carried on with her life, but i'm sure that her nephew never left her thoughts. This relates to me as well. I have never offically met my aunt, but she will always be a part of my family.
