Elin also remembers vivid walks with a young classmate Fredrik whose steadfast friendship and starlit confidences shaped her young life. As Elin becomes consumed by these memories her New York life begins to crumble dramatically. Finally her family's troubling questions drive her to face at last the brutal secret from her past. At once a heartwarming family story and a page - turning mystery A Question Mark Is Half a Heart traces a surprising journey across continents to reconciliation and toward finding a true sense of home.
