More about the book
Nine-year-old Lauren Cooper and her volatile younger brother Winston look up to their brother Henry for comfort and guidance. But Henry's steadfastness starts to crack when he seems to inhabit the mind of another person-a gentle Japanese man who witnessed the destruction of Hiroshima. As the Cooper children stumble into adulthood, Lauren suspects something about her brother's "illness" that everyone is overlooking. And if she can understand what's happening to him, perhaps everything else-her family, her faith, her future-will start to make sense as well. Funny, moving, and wise, What Happened to Henry is a powerful tale of a family's struggle towards understanding-and their fight to make sense of the world in which they live.
