Crossing 13: Memoir of a Father’s Suicide, a coming of age story about a thirteen-year-old girl whose life is instantly altered upon finding her father dead from suicide, makes The Denver Post Local Bestseller Nonfiction Paperback Book List.

“Hugus does more than reminisce—she successfully assumes the persona of a girl dogged by the angst and social awkwardness attendant to the middle school years. Crossing 13 sails right through the generational barrier; it is a great tool for starting a dialogue with a partly grown person who is feeling more alone than ever before,” says ForeWord CLARION Reviews (four out of five stars!).

“Crossing 13 is an authentic account of a thirteen-year-old survivor of a father’s suicide. Carrie Stark Hugus writes honestly and courageously about her experience. Crossing 13 is an incredible book relating to the events before and after the suicide. Suicide is always a touchy topic and Carrie Stark Hugus handles it with care,” by Neha Kashmiri, age 14, for Reader Views.
