What to do when I'm gone

by Hopkins, Suzy (Former Newspaper Reporter)

When Bateman came the realization that someday Hopkins, her mother, would die, it became a catalyst to begin recording step-by-step instructions to take her through the days, months, and years of life after loss. The project became a way for mother and daughter to connect with humor, honesty, and gratitude. Now this illustrated manual will leave readers laughing, teary-eyed, and considering their own mother/daughter relationships. -- adapted from back cover.
