Both of these ladies ... bared their souls of what they did as children living in the projects of Rhode Island and New York. because I made the same kind of bonds with my friends. I recommend reading this.
LR Hatfield (Living In the PJ's)
This is the story of a Mother's denial, despair, and finally acceptance of the progonsis given in her child's terminal illness... Her words are at times warm and funny, and at other times heart wrenching.
Gigi (What Do A Mother Do?)
This is a very strong sequel with a fantastic ending. I hope the author plans to write more in this series because I'd love to know more about these characters and how their relationship progresses.
