Book Cover & Preview Text
Once mama and I had finished the dishes, she mentioned, in a soft, sweet, somber voice, "Jack-Jack, I need to share something with you."
Whenever mama talked like that, it usually meant one of two things; she wanted to give me something, or she wanted to tell me something.
From the look on her face, I could tell that she wanted to tell me something.
