- Rating: 1 out of 5 stars1/5Lightweight handling of a story concerning relationships between mothers and daughters. Concerns the insecurity of one daughter and the death of another interspersed with some comments by a 14-year-old who sometimes talks like a 4 year-old and sometimes like a very wise woman. Could have been so much more.
