Synopsis: Left Book Jacket: "Nothing makes Blessing happier than to sit, singing, with Monnie, her grandmother, beside her, making music on the fiddle. Blessing's mama died when she was two, and Monnie has looked after her ever since in their small house in the Tennessee mountains. But it's been a long time since Monnie has felt well, really well. Even working in her beloved garden is beyond her now, and the doctor says she isn't getting any better. Blessing is only eleven, and she knows she's going to be on her own soon. The mountain people will help her, but how does she know whom to trust? And how will she go on without Monnie by her side?" In this profound book, the author shows the poignant feelings of love and grief that Blessing experiences as she faces the eventual loss of her grandmother. Even though this novel is categorized as Children's Literature, adults will learn much about the grief process that children might go through as Blessing shares her sacred journey with these readers.
