Book: Blackbird by Jennifer Lauck 

Pg. #: 95 

Summary: After Momma went to the hospital, she stayed there awhile. Daddy brought her back with no warnings. She's still sick, so they have to take care of her at home. She can't get up to do anything. The family has to feed her, and get rid of her waste for her. The book explains how they have to take care of her in detail. Then, Momma and Daddy get in a fight, and Jenny and B.J. hear. Jenny gets up to see her Dad and check to see if everything is okay, but scares her Dad. Daddy tells the kids that everything is alright, but Jenny sees through him, and sees that he is troubled. Then, the kids go to bed. 

Rating: I like this book a lot and I can't wait to read more. It's so sad and cute and what makes it better is that this really happened.
