Who is this woman? Is she going to replace mommy? Will daddy love her more than me? What if she doesn’t like going to the zoo? When children of divorced or widowed parents first hear of their father’s intention to remarry, they not only have to work through their own fears and feelings of uncertainty, they have to battle with century-old fairytales and modern movies that depict stepmothers as evil.
When a child is diagnosed with cancer, his or her siblings may struggle with complex emotions such as confusion, guilt, and fear.

Jamie laments the loss of her normal teenage life and describes feeling forgotten as her family focuses on Jordan s medical needs. Jamie finds solace through journaling about her experience, and encourages the reader to write about his or her own journey on the pages provided in the book.
