Publisher Description
A young girl grapples with the profound impact of her father's terminal illness in this poignant coming-of-age novel.
“You can’t help but want Abby to finally discover her own kind of peace, and readers will be pulling for her throughout her journey.”—Sarah Dessen
“Tells its story beautifully and movingly, and it earns its hopeful ending. Ackley is without question a talented writer.”—Nancy Werlin, New York Times bestselling author of Impossible
Twelve-year-old Abby North’s first hint that something is wrong with her dad is the scar that appears on his stomach after he goes in for kidney surgery. Soon, the thing she calls “It” has a real name: cancer. Before, her biggest concerns were her annoying brother, the crush unaware of her existence, and her changing feelings for her best friend, Spence, the boy across the street. Now, her mother cries in the shower, her father is exhausted, and nothing is normal anymore.
Customer Reviews
Amazing and inspirational
This is an exceptional book about the life of a teenage girl who is trying to deal with her father's death and many other situations. I highly recommend this book to all teens.
A truly moving story
This is a story about a girl (Abby) dealing with her fathers illness. This story has nothing to do with 'sign language' and if that's what your looking for then look further.
If you are looking for a moving story about the life of a young girl as she goes through the life struggles of young adulthood and love then look no further.
There are many lessons to this story that any young adult female could relate to and learn from.
