(4) YA The author of Go and Come Back has written a more conventional story about a lonely girl coming to terms with her mother's impending death. As Mindy follows the downward spiral of her mother's illness, her isolation is palpable, and meaningful human connections are scant. Since the ending is a foregone conclusion, the static narrative centers on Mindy's development within a rather narrow framework.
