    A Short Review
    The premise of this novel written as a journal to a son for him to read after his mom's death from cancer sounds intriguing but I found it to not be an engrossing read.
    It became rather boring and pretty ho-hum, not producing much emotion in me. It was an easy enough read but not something I couldn't put down.

    No child of any age needs to be reminded of every little happening in mom's life after her death or everything that's going through her mind and how it affected her. Of interest are some of the circumstances that brought her to this stage of life but it is a small portion of what is communicated to her son. Perhaps a book club would find more depth through discussion.
