"Shadows in the Sun: The Experiences of Sibling Bereavement in
Childhood is an impressive combination of insightful caring,
informed scholarship, rigorous research and practical utility.
Professor Davies is uniquely qualified to introduce us to sibling
bereavement-In my judgment, no other contemporary author could have
produced this rich and rewarding manuscript. You are about to
embark on an enlightening journey as you begin reading this
excellent book.."
