Written in diary form this book tells the story of a 13-year-old boy following the murder of his father, when he was the only witness. The diary offers a way of honestly exploring the emotions felt, and the way his mother withdraws into herself. The just one tear of the title is the number of tears he shed, showing that grief can be deep, but with no outward signs.
