Genre - Family

Lisa, Jennifer, Amanda and Hannah have lost their mother, Barbara to cancer. Each one of them is going to miss her terribly as they face the trials and triumphs of their life without her. Before Barbara died she wrote letters to her four daughters to help them to cope with their loss and to give them just a bit more of her advice and wisdom. For such a bleak subject this story is full of love and warmth and humour as Barbara writes down her memories of the early years of marriage and children and her thoughts on relationships and love. It is a celebration of life filled with people we can identify with and care about.
