The title story, "The Leaving Sweater," is about a young woman who is struggling to come to terms with the death of her father. She finds solace in an old sweater that he left behind, and she begins to wear it everywhere she goes.

And "The Dead Man's Float" is about a young boy who is struggling to understand death and loss.
MacDonald's writing is lyrical and evocative, and she has a gift for capturing the beauty and harshness of the North. Her characters are complex and believable, and their stories are both heartbreaking and hopeful.
