This is the gripping true story of how one devastating moment tears a family apart and how love and strength come together to rebuild what was lost. “Compelling... tinged with the rawness only real life can provide.” — Entertainment Weekly I am just like you. I get bored in school. I goof off with my friends. I fight with my family. I have big dreams. I am just like everyone else. And then, in a split second, I’m not. It's just another October day until Erin’s parents are hit by a speeding tow truck. Mom dies instantly. Dad dies one month later, after doctors assure Erin he’s going to make it. Now Erin and her sister are left to raise their baby brother—and each other. Grief Girl will break your heart and then fill you with hope, time and time again.
