Produktbeschreibung

Kirkus Review: " A young girl grieving her mother's death discovers the healing power of family, friends, and God in Templeton's middle-grade novel. Mira is 10 years old when she loses her mom to cancer. At first, she remains in staunch denial that her mother would ever leave her, even believing that the entire funeral is fake. She doesn't really start to accept her loss until she meets up with her mother's best friend, Sylvia. Mira navigates various bumps throughout the grieving process--including her friends pulling away, a new life in her father and stepmother's house, and panic attacks at school. She also wrestles with immense guilt over a fight she had with her mother before she died. Mira eventually begins to find solace in her church's grief support group and starts to keep her tears in a jar as proof of her love and grief. Based on the author's own experiences, the novel skillfully and sensitively tackles the wildly swinging emotions that can come with deep grief. Steeped in Christianity, Templeton's story is likely to provide deep comfort to those who observe the faith and would prove an excellent resource for Christian youth groups. This Christian-centered story deftly limns the conflicting emotions of kids who have experienced loss."
