About this item

by Amy Wight Chapman (Author)

Just Like Glass is the story of one transformative year in the life of the author's four older siblings and their mother, Ruth. In 1958, just as the school year is ending, Ruth's husband, Bill, is felled by a fatal heart attack. Not knowing what else to do, she loads her grief-stricken children, ages eight to fourteen, into the station wagon with the family dog and drives north to spend the summer at their lakeside camp in western Maine. Told in the several voices of the ones who lived it, this family memoir relates how a tough-as-nails matriarch and the stillness of North Pond set them on the path to healing, even as they struggle to redefine themselves as a family unit, with one unexpected addition.
