Kirkus Review says, "Steeped in Christianity, Templeton's story is likely to provide deep comfort to those who observe the faith and would prove an excellent resource for Christian youth groups.
This Christian-centered story deftly limns the conflicting emotions of kids who have experienced loss."
Mira's dad breaks the news that her mom died. But Mira can't believe him. Surely he's lying and maybe her mom is on a holiday, especially after their fight. Moms aren't supposed to die! God is the maker of the heavens and the earth-- if anyone can bring her mother back, it's Him. She'll just have to pray harder. God wouldn't be so cruel as to take Mira's mom away from her . . . would He?
Accompany Mira as she's thrust into a world of change. She misses her mom. Her heart is broken. Her mom was her best friend, but now she must adapt to a new home, a new stepfamily, and worst of all, a new school. She still has Pastor Will, but Mira's not so sure God is real anymore. Will Mira ever finish her paintings so she can fulfill the promise she made to her mom before she went into the hospital? How will Mira grieve and still be a kid?
