AUTHOR

Pietrzyk, Leslie

SUMMARY

Fifteen-year-old Alice dreams of her first kiss, has sleepovers, auditions for Our Town , and tries to pass high school biology. It's 1975, and at first look, her life would seem to be normal and unexceptional. But in the world that Leslie Pietrzyk paints, every moment she chronicles is revealed through the kaleidoscope of loss, stained by the fact that Alice's mother, without warning, note, or apology, deliberately parks her car on the railroad tracks, in the path of an oncoming train.In the emotional year that follows, Alice and her older brother find themselves in the care of their great aunt, forced to cope and move forward. Lonely and confused, Alice absorbs herself in her mother Annette's familiar rituals, trying to recapture their connection -- only to be stunned by the sound of her mother's voice speaking to her, engaging Alice in "conversations" and offering some insight into the life that she had led, beyond her role as Alice's mother.Pietrzyk, Leslie is the author of 'Year And A Day ', published 2005 under ISBN 9780060554668 and ISBN 0060554665.
