Jane in Bloom


Jane in Bloom by Deborah Lytton


Lizzie is the perfect older sister in the family and Jane lives in her shadow. Even on Jane's twelfth birthday, Lizzie captures the family's attention when her eating disorder spirals into a fatal end. It takes a camera, a puppy, a grandmother, and a boy to help Jane bloom into her own person in the midst of the grief.


My Thoughts: This was a fabulously powerful story that made me cry more than once! I loved Jane and how she was able to deal with the loss of her sister Lizzie! A must read!
