Prologue

"I'm standing around Mom's tiny, comatose body with my three older brothers. I wipe the corners of her crusted-shut eyes with a rag and then it begins. The doctor told us she has forty-eight hours to live. I'm nally down to eighty-nine pounds. I've got something more important to o er. Something I'm sure Mom cares about more than anything.

Mom says she just likes to preserve the memories of things. I'd almost be mad if I didn't love Dustin so much. I love Scottie because he's nostalgic. I learned that word in the Vocabulary Cartoons book Mom reads to us every day, because she homeschools us. Even though he's only nine so doesn't have much of a past, he's yearning for it.

I love it!. I shout excitedly. It's my favorite gift ever!. I throw on my best fake smile. Mom doesn't notice the smile is fake.

She tells me to put the out t on for my party while she already starts taking o my pajamas.  Debra McCurdy's family watches a weekly rewatch of a home video she made shortly after learning of her terminal cancer diagnosis. Every Sunday after church, she has one of the boys pop in the VHS tape since she doesn't know how to work the VCR. I feel tremendous guilt every time we rewatch the home video. How could I not have sensed what Mom needed? That she needed all of us to be serious, to be taking the situation as hard as we possibly could, John McCurdy writes about his mom's battle with cancer.

One more row of clips and we'll be done, Mom says as she pins another strand of my hair into place. I hate this hairstyle, the rows of tightly wound hair fastened into place with painful, scalp-gripping little clips. But Mom loves it because she says it makes her look pretty. I want to give you the life I never had, Net, Mom says. But Grandma and Grandpa wouldn't let you, I say.

Mom: I think you would be a great little actress. You're what they love in that town.

I've never felt this way before. Sick to my stomach from nerves, Jennette says as she prepares for her stage debut. Mom told me to just do it simply like you're talking to your friend, and don't do any of those hand gestures, the director tells her. Goatee tells us that Academy Kids would like to represent us for background work. This means we'll stand in the background of scenes for shows and movies.

Goatee calls out three kids' names and asks them to stay. They did so well on their monologues that they are not being represented as human props. Goatee comes out to give each of the parents feedback. He tells Jennette that she has potential to do principal work. It's frustrating when grown-ups make strange noises or faces.

The cast and crew eat breakfast in front of a giant Luke Skywalker vs. Darth Vader mural. I could get used to this, says 12-year-old Angelina Jolie. The director asks us to give him our best scared-to-death faces. Since Mom homeschools me, she
