After Willa Jo and JoAnn’s baby sister dies, their mother is too overcome with grief to care for her daughters. The girls are forced to move in with their aunt Patty. Willa Jo butts heads with Aunt Patty while she deals with her grief and sadness from being away from her Mom.

This would be an excellent story for any teen/child dealing with death or grief. I liked the way death was handled in the story. While the story was mainly about Willa Jo, we could still see that she had adults around her that love her. It is a pretty quick read too.
