When we think about sickness, especially those requiring hospitalizations and long-term care, the focus is on the patient and rightfully so. But what happens to the children in the family, who often have to live with a relative or family friend? Is there any impact of this separation on their state of mind and worldview? A Summer Without Anna revolves around Junie, a young girl who is placed in the care of her grandparents when her sister, Anna, is sick. Part memoir, the book is a glimpse into Kate’s own experiences as a child and offers a photographic contemplation of nature and family love. Kate and I discuss the importance of allowing children to process feelings of anger and resentment during this time and the ways nature can offer a reprieve in the bleakest of circumstances.
