Lydia’s mother has died from congenital heart disease, and she must now move to live with her Aunt Brat on a farm in Chelmsford, Connecticut. Lydia is starting the new year with the most significant life changes. Talk of death can be an uncomfortable experience, but this emotional topic is beautifully addressed in a way that is both direct and comforting.
