Letters to My Mother in Heaven

Lizzie Jo seemed to always be struggling.  With a tumultuous childhood behind her, adulthood seemed to be trying to keep her in the turmoil.

          When her mother dies, during a three-year period of time, when her mother wasn't speaking to her, Lizzie Jo now has to face all that she had been trying to avoid.

          Her mother's death hit her extremely hard, due to the circumstances, but being the oldest daughter now posed even more problematic situations for her.

          Closure was not going to be easy.  Nor would dealing with the ones left alive.
