I read this when I was younger, It's a book I remember vividly. I remember crying when I read it, I also remember when my mom was teaching me how to do my laundry, my first thought that popped into my brain was that she was teaching me, because she was going to die soon, pretty sure I got that idea from this book lmao, I laugh about it now, but back than it really caused me great anxiety. This was just great and moving book, it will stick in your mind forever, at least it did for me.

I read this book when it first came out in the mid 80's. It has stuck with me so much that I had to find it for my daughter. This book does deal with the death of a mother, so be warned it is very emotionally charged. Having said that, it is a finely written story of a girl's struggle with her adolecence and how she and her family pull together to brave the death of her mother. This is a definate must read if you can find a copy.
