"Children and Teens are expected to grieve the same as adults. In fact there are similarities but our brains are not fully [developed] yet but we often have bigger and stronger emotions. My name is Olivia Hahn, I lost my mother to cancer when I was 15 and I am deeply grieving. This book is written in the voice of a teenager as a teenager and is an account of finding my voice through all this loss" -- Back cover.
