An easy, quick, and enjoyable read. This was a simple story about a struggling writer and teacher and about the conflicting relationship she has with her mother. Aspiring writers may enjoy doing the writing assignments along with the fiction class in the book.

A goodwill find that I am excited to pass onto my mom. This was a good read that happily fit into the challenge I am doing on Goodreads - read something about school.

I absolutely loved the layout and how the story unfolded in the book. Wrapped around the class and weekly visits to a nursing home to visit her mom, the main character Arabella is someone I could envision with such clarity.

It was a short little read, but packed inside was a beautiful story of a mother and a daughter learning in their last days how each one coped with the life they were handed. It made me want to make sure I hadn't wasted any moments with my family and to make sure that future ones were hard to forget.

I would pass this book along to all the women in my life - not sure the men would enjoy this one!

This book was awesome. Informative and interesting if you have ever thought about becoming a writer, and touching and thought provoking if you have ever become frustrated with a difficult mother/daughter relationship. There is hope and there is love!!!!
