   Summary

   Bret has been mourning his little brother for longer than he ever truly knew him. Owen is, and always will be, a permanent presence haunting his narrative—the little brother he could never protect. He has become a shadow in every corner of Bret’s story: deeply loved, endlessly mourned, and forever untouchable. Owen lingers in the gaps of memory, in the silences, the missed opportunities, and in the stories Bret tells himself about what should have been.
