"In January of 1975, ten-year-old Liz--the eighth of ten children--dies. Her parents and siblings are shocked and stricken with grief. Anna and Bridgett, the two youngest siblings are sent away while the family prepares for Liz's funeral. When they return home a week later, their grief is dismissed with the belief that seven-year-old Anna and her even younger sister Bridget couldn't possibly be capable of understanding death. Ten years later, seventeen-year-old Anna has just returned home from Advocate Hospital after suffering from a nervous breakdown. She is desperate to rekindle the love she once shared with her siblings, but her family remains aloof and unchanged from the recent events--exactly like they were a decade ago. Though she continues therapy with her psychiatrist Dr. Ellison, Anna begins to slip into her old self-destructive ways until months later, when a possible glimmer of hope arrives in a letter from her brother Kyle. Just Like Ziggy depicts a family's search for answers, acceptance, and hope."--Amazon.com
