Since her mother’s death, sixteen-year-old Rose has lost all interest in cheerleading, friends, and her football-captain boyfriend. Though her mother left her a “Survival Kit,” Rose hides it away, too overcome with grief. When Grandma Madison visits, her no-nonsense attitude helps Rose begin to unravel the meaning behind the items in the Survival Kit. An involving, emotionally true tale of love and loss.
