The Tin Can Tree is a 1965 novel by Anne Tyler.

The Pike family, including ten-year-old Simon Pike, are trying to carry on after the tragic, accidental death of six-year-old Janie Rose Pike.

In the end, the Pikes learn that even after the traumatic death of a young soul, life still continues and they cannot mourn forever.
