Why This Must Be Read: While it's not canon that Jacob Carter was ever MIA, this story is both plausible and marvelously in-character for a six-year-old Sam struggling with her father's absence. Anr does a superb job of giving us a peek into Sam's head, and the final lines tying into canon are heartbreakingly good.


She misses her dad terribly, with his big, big hugs at bed time and the way he pats her on the head every time she tells him something new. Things like how the dog next door is having puppies and it takes a snail four hours to cross the width of their driveway. Caterpillar is spelt c-a-t-e-r-p-i-l-l-a-r and deciduous means the tree in their front yard will lose its leaves in the fall.

He misses Christmas and her first day at school and her birthday. In June, Mickey Dodson tells her that his father says her father is dead so she calls him a liar and pushes him off the swings, breaking his arm. Her mom cries when Sam tries to explain and doesn't stop, even when Sam says she's sorry.
