If you want a read which touches on the subjects of grief and bereavement in today's world, but which is also a fun, warm-hearted and slightly eccentric portrait of the life of a loving mother I highly recommend this book.
Michele Bell is learning how to cope with the death of her son in a completely different culture. Her chapters on the loss of her son are particularly moving.
This book will make you laugh and make you cry, sometimes at the same time.
