Getting Near to BabyAudrey Couloumbis
*****
Willa Jo is up on the roof...again. Willa Jo and Little Sister always come up to the roof for a some time, but they won't tell Aunt Patty why. Aunt Patty is so strict, it seems to be the only way they could get away from her. Since Baby died, everything has been sad and lonely and because Dad left and Mom is far away, it seems like their family is broken up. Plus Little Sister won't speak because that is her way of showing loss. How can their family be so close yet so far away? I don't really have a favorite part in this book because all of it is really great. The story is about mourning, healing, and about situations in life. This is a really sweet book.

Hi I never heard of that book before. But when I read this post I am intrested to read it. It seemed to be a really nice book.
This book seems very intresting to me, but I still don't understand why the dad left. I mean as a family don't they have to stick together? The dad must be very selfish to just leave the entire family alone. In what year is this story based on? Does the father come back to the family? Do they have a happy ending?
Stop asking questions!! :D Um...:
1) the book was based on the great depression
2) the dad doesn't come back (if i remember correctly)
3) they do have a fairly happy ending because their mom comes to visit (if i remember correctly)
Does that satisfy you? :D
