Booktalk: In this tender exploration of a mother-daughter relationship, Kim and her mother learn that in order to support and truly take care of each other, they need to be tough — and that sometimes being tough means showing vulnerability and asking for help.

Snippet: Lunch is the worst. David’s always got something to say. He yells so everyone hears, “Kim’s eating a butt sandwich.” I make my face tough like Mum. But deep inside where no one sees, I’m a whole bunch of sad and mad.
