One is our narrator, Yolandi, a moderately successful author of rodeo-themed young adult. Her sister approached her to aid her in killing herself and she declined.

The first ending is that her sister takes her own life and the fall out of all that. ![]() It appears to have a double ending or a sort of alternate ending within itself. ALL MY PUNY SORROWS Trailer, directed by Michael McGowanBased on the 2014 international best-seller by Miriam Toews, this poignant tale follows the intertwin. What a sad book!
