A well-written first novel from Gayle Friesen that explores the uneasy relationship between a single mother and her daughter. The Canadian setting serves as a comfortable backdrop to the solid characterizations of Claire and her mother, Janey. The issue of teen pregnancy is also handled in a sensitive and caring manner, focusing on the impact on the lives of the main characters fifteen years later. Teenage girls will find this story compelling as they unravel family secrets along with Claire, and there is even a touch of romance woven into the mix as well. Good choice for a mother/daughter book club. De veertienjarige Claire woont alleen met haar moeder. Op haar vragen over het verleden krijgt ze nooit een antwoord. Wie is haar vaderij Waarom praat haar moeder nooit over grootvaderij En waarom is haar moeder vroeger eigenlijk van huis weggelopenij Claire en haar moeder brengen dit jaar de maand augustus door op de boerderij van grootmoeder.

When Claire and her mother, Jane, take a cross country road trip to visit Claire's long-lost grandmother, Jane's mother, everything is turned upside down. Claire is struck by the small town and the feeling that everyone knows more about her life than she does. There's romance, coming of age, family secrets and strange dynamics that Claire doesn't yet understand. But the main theme of this story is love, and all the things that means.
I remember hearing once that children become adults the first time they realize that they actually do know more, at least about some things in life, than their parents. That notion is the heart of this story, along with the fact that no matter how far you go, you can't run away from the people who love you. ( )
