Amalee’s world is out of order. She’s used to things being all over the place, because of the frequent presence of her father’s bantering, bickering group of friends. But now everything is a big question mark. School isn’t what it used to be, and Amalee’s not really sure she likes her friends anymore. Life is a mystery that’s weighing her down. Then Amalee’s dad becomes seriously ill, and life becomes even more complicated. The world quiets to a whisper... until Amalee finds help from some very unexpected places. “A poignant, funny debut... readers will be charmed by Williams’ eccentric, lovable characters and her sharp observations about the world of both middle-schoolers and adults.” —Booklist “An uplifting story that will grab young readers.” —Horn Book

“A Mother for Me” was written for the children I have known who didn’t have a relationship with their mother, but desired to have a mother and this book is for anyone who struggles with motherhood.I remembered the things that my mother did for me to help me to become the person I have become, so I decided to share experiences to serve as a guide or reference for people who struggle with motherhood or “what to do as a mother.” Whether a mother gives you life biologically or helps to make your life better as a foster or play-mother, please consider other ways to have a mother. And for the mothers who are open to guidance, I hope you find this book helpful. Also at the end of this book you can journal your thoughts, experiences or memories about your relationship with you mother or what to do as a mother. Finally any teacher, foster parent or friend, etc who knows a child who did not have or desires to have a mother, share this book --------Warm wishes to you from Swilli Books
