About this eBook
What do you say to someone whose mother is dying?
Nathan and his adorable little sister just moved in across the street from Liz Scattergood, and both of them could use a friend. Liz just isn't sure she's the right person.
Liz has been coping with tough questions all summer. Ever since Liz's grandmother Bunny died, Liz's mother hasn't been the same; she's even started attending a spiritualist church that claims it can contact Bunny on the Other Side. Liz isn't sure she believes it, but she does know the service gives her mother comfort -- something no one else can seem to do at all.
As Liz and Nathan become closer, and the summer draws nearer to its bitter end, questions of faith, mortality, and spirituality come to the forefront of their intimate friendship. There are no easy answers, but together they may nonetheless find hope, comfort, and love.

this is about a girl that encounters her own problems from her grandma's death. she meets a boy with a mom with leukemia and a little sister. they are afraid to tell her... the boy's gramma is a grouchy old lady that doesnt want other ppl on her yard. the girl crushes on the guy and he says that she's "one good thing" at this "boring" town of , okay i don't remember the city but what ever.
you will finish this amazingly fast if you're into whether beliefs should be believed or rejected. whether what god is. what god does. but no one really knows.
ENJOY READING THIS BOOK.

This book was like so awesome. All I wanted to do was read it, but I think it should have a second part to it.
