(3) 4-6 Seventh-grader Kay's Grandma Margie develops breast cancer, the progress of which this novel records compassionately but accurately in short sections of free verse. More than the disease, this book concerns four generations of females--Kay and her mother, grandmother, and great-grandmother. Details of friends, school, church, and life in Florida resonate convincingly.
