From the Lighthouse by

From the lighthouse: Wheezie's ma has gone away. The rest of the family doesn't know what to do. Sid runs away, and his dad goes after him. After what seems like a long time to Wheezie, Rudy and Clayton, they come back. but without ma, bad things keep on happening, and it seems like they get worse and worse until....

This is one of the two or three books that made me cry. There was a part where Wheezie had made Thanksgiving dinner and thought ma would come home for it. She keeps on looking at the door and, when no one comes, realizes that ma is gone for good. that was really sad. It was inspiring how all the bad stuff happened and they stayed together.

happy early valentines day!
