- Summary:
- How do you map grief? Dear Outsiders explores how we are part of and stranger to our environments and to our families and how identities form by where and who we come from. Told through two siblings' perspectives of the loss of their parents, the book is a map of isolation, longing, and what it means to be deserted and alive.
