(4) YA A high school senior's journal entries and poems document a year during which her mother loses her battle with breast cancer. The writing is impressive given the author's age, although the passages dealing directly with grief are self-conscious and somewhat hackneyed. Fresher are Stone's admissions of guilt and anger at her once-discerning mother for "having the nerve to say the home shopping channel was 'nice.'"
