This story was very good. Simple. But good. The lead character, Livie, believes she is the reason her mother is in a coma. The story starts with the mother coming home from the hospital because the doctor's cannot do anything else for her. But she is still in a coma. So, throughout the story, you feel the conflicting emotions that Livie has with seeing her mother in a coma and having the guilt of having caused the accident.
It is a very sweet coming of age story. Although it is a young readers book, I would recommend this to all of you. I am so glad Ashton liked the cover enough to buy it for me.
Eleven-year-old Livie is terrified when her father insists that they bring her comatose mother home from the hospital. How can she look at, much less touch and care for, Mamma when she alone knows that she caused her illness? As Mamma continues to languish in bed, Livie grows more and more estranged from her family, a chasm that begins to close only after she gathers her courage to visit the local traiteur, who gives her the formula for a healing spell. As Livie collects the spell's necessary ingredients, she begins to open up to the knowledge that she is loved and cherished by her family. Little explores the extremes of childhood guilt and its consequences in this harsh yet well-crafted story about fully drawn people. The bayou, with its rich culture, is an atmospheric character that overlays the story with mystery and dread. A special offering for readers seeking a challenge of the heart as well as the mind.
