Poignant and moving...

Hi! This is Miss Jo at the Library. I just finished reading a book titled God is in the Pancakes, by Robin Epstein.

Grace Manning, a 15-year-old student, is working in a retirement home. She has become close friends with a patient, Mr. Sands, and eventually becomes friends with his wife who also lives there. Grace looks up to Mr. Sands as if he was her father. Grace's parents are separated and she looks forward to seeing Mr. Sands every time she works. He helps her work out her problems. But Mr. Sands has Lou Gehrig's disease, and one day he asks her to help him die. He even gives her the pills to do it.

This book will definitely leave you with many questions. Would you do the same thing if you were in her shoes? Would you help knowing the person was not going to get better? Could you make this kind of decision on your own? What would you do if this happened to you?

Pick up this book and find out what Grace does.

(This book is in our Young Adult section.)

See you at the Library!
