Review
* "Abelove lifts Mindy's feelings of isolation and grief to a metaphoric level, making it a story about leaving childhood behind,"--Publishers Weekly, starred review
"This brief but powerful novel relates Mindy's thoughts and feelings during the very painful month preceding her mother's death. Through journal entries, narration, and flashbacks, the 16-year-old relates the course of her mother's illness from the numbing diagnosis of "brain tumor" to her eventual demise. . . . A beautifully written and tender portrayal of one young woman coming to grips with loss."--School Library Journal
"Complex but also vibrant and infused with tenderness."--Booklist
"Abelove moves from the exotic rain forest of her debut, Go and Come Back (1998), to more familiar suburban territory for this anguish-ridden tale of a teenager whose mother is terminally ill."--Kirkus Reviews
