And I thought I'm going to write about that because even though I'm an adult now and I lost them both as adults, I have some tools that, to manage my grief as much as it can be managed.

And so I, I wrote that book and it was very, it was, I would, for me, I would say that's the saddest book that I wrote because I like grief. We don't really talk about grief a lot. People tell you, or you'll heal and you'll get past this. But to a kid, that's absolutely the worst thing that could happen to you. Like you don't get over it. You can't get past it and you are not going to heal.

You're just going to paper over your wound for a little bit and try to get through every day. But everything is going to be a reminder. Your first day is like junior year. Your mother's not there. Your first date, your mother's not there. If you go to college, your mother's not there. Those people will never be there. And so you can't get beyond that feeling of being without them forever.

And I wanted to talk especially about those emotional issues, but also feelings. Talk a little bit about what it's like for kids in the foster care system and what happens to them and how they can get bounced around. And I wanted those kids to have a voice. So I gave Tiger all these kids that she meets like Thaddeus and Leonard and all the other kids that she meets in foster care.
