Life On the Refrigerator Door by Alice Kuipers!.

"Guaranteed to make you cry!." --Sunday Express

Life on the Refrigerator Door is told exclusively through notes exchanged by Claire and her mother, Elizabeth, during the course of a life-altering year!. Their story builds to an emotional crescendo when Elizabeth is diagnosed with breast cancer!. Stunningly sad but ultimately uplifting, this is a clever, moving, and original portrait of the relationship between a daughter and mother!. It is about how we live our lives constantly rushing, and never making time for those we love!. It is also an elegy to how much can be said in so few words, if only we made the time to say them!.Www@QuestionHome@Com
