A stunning debut about one girl's journey through loss and grief. Corinna's world is crushed after her mother dies of cancer. How does she get through the funeral, trays of ziti, a father who can't communicate, the first day of school, Mother's Day, people who don't know what to say, and the entire eighth-grade year? Despite her alienation from many of her peers, including her best friend, she succeeds in finding support. She dares to bare her innermost fears, hurts, and wishes, and even allows herself to have a flowering crush on a boy in the school band. She also finds out deep secrets about her mother which she never knew. It's a year that will change Corinna's life forever.

If only I had this setup. 😍 Being out in the sun yesterday 🌻 left me with a headache today. No matter that I was born and raised in the south, I just can't take the heat as I get older. So doing laundry and curling up with a book, with the HP marathon on tv in the background. (**picture found on Pinterest)

tracey38 @tonyahoswalt mine is lingering a bit. So I took today off work, to help my head, and as a little mental health day. 6y

Several pots of goulash went at the youth center last night. The tagged book is actually not about suicide, but it is about grief and seems to be helping at least one girl at the center. The kids are still dealing with the suicide of their friend. I made a list with all the suggestions given on here to hand out and bought them myself as well.. ..talking it out is good ...we're getting there..thanks #litsyfamily for helping me and being there 💗💗

brendanmleonard I'm so sorry. You're in my thoughts. 6y
