Synopsis

Have you ever wondered what it would be like to be the woman of the house at just ten years old? When Amanda's Mama passes away from an aggressive form of breast cancer, Amanda is left to raise her seven year old brother and forty-three year old father. She is just ten years old. In this coming of age novel, Amanda becomes determined to make her house better than any house with a Mama in it. Using the terms "before cancer" and "after cancer," Amanda candidly details what it was like to grow up as a motherless daughter. "Still today, at twenty-five years old, I feel like women who have mothers “have the key” to womanhood that I do not. I still struggle with feminine things like going to birthday parties and bridal showers. I wonder if I am wearing the right outfit. I agonize over whether or not I bought the right type of gift and wrapped it as nicely as the other gifts."This book is ideal for anyone experiencing adolescent grief. It would also be extremely useful for parents and teachers who are in contact with children who have lost a parent and want to see firsthand the coming of age trials and tribulations associated with grief.
