A Lesson of Love, a Song of Hope

When one hears just the surface details of this story (mother loses only child to a brain tumor), one is tempted to think "Oh, that's horrible, and move on." But this remarkable book is not about surface details. It's about the powerful love between a mother and a daughter. It's about the profound impact teachers make in the classroom. It's about hope and sunshine and looking forward to today -- and tomorrow. True, the ending could not be described as "happy." But the lessons learned in the reading, in seeing how a mother and her daughter not just coped with but grew from an experience that would crush lesser souls -- are awe inspiring.Read this book. Your day will seem brigter, your troubles much smaller, your teachers more important and, most of all, your children more precious.
