This book follows her through one year after her mothers death. She has so many questions about and for her mother about life. Sometimes she talkes to her mother's urn and other times she asks her Aunt Jennifer. Corinna feels out of place at school because she thinks nobody understands her and what has happened.
I liked this book. It was written for a younger audience maybe pre-teen but was good nevertheless.
Here is the cover blurb: 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.
