In an effort to address her obsession with worrying about
people, ten-year-old Trina decides to invent an object she calls
the Thing. Whenever Trina starts becoming overly concerned about
someone, she opens the top of her magical box, peeks inside, and
hopes that everything she sees will make her feel all right.
But one night, everything is not all right. While looking in the
Thing, Trina sees her older sister involved in a deadly car crash.
Suddenly, Trina is left trying to make sense of events that are
difficult for her to understand: her sister s death, her alcoholic
father, her overworked mother, and her relationship with a God that
would let bad things happen to good people. The tragedy that
befalls her family teaches Trina how to survive disappointment and
loss with humor, love, and a belief in second chances.
