One of my favorite authors, this book by Kaye Gibbons skips backward and forward through time to tell the story of a young girl and her family struggling to handle her manic depressive mother. Hattie longs for a more typical mother/daughter relationship while her mother, consumed by her disease, has little energy or perception left for her young daughter. Sometimes tragic, sometimes quirky and humorous, it is a compelling story.

A page-turner! Read it in a few hours. Excellent story told from a child's perspective.
