In "The Weight of Everything" by Marcia Argueta Mickelson, we follow the poignant journey of Cassie, a teenage girl grappling with grief after losing her mother. As she navigates her relationships and attempts to understand her identity, she is drawn to her academic struggles and the pressure to succeed. Cassie finds solace in writing, using poetry to express her emotions and confront her pain. Along the way, she learns about love, forgiveness, and the importance of remembering those we've lost, ultimately discovering her strength and the weight of carrying both joy and sorrow.
