About This Novel
Jenna Wilson is a Swedish girl who lives with her mother and never knows who her father is. When she was fourteen years old, Jenna's mother suddenly suffered from breast cancer. While her mother was hospitalized, she was forced to accept the fact that she lived with her grandmother. She was angry at her mother for failing to give her a complete family. Jenna gradually discovered that the boy she had a crush on, Saka, did not like her. After making a new friend Ulrika, her former best friend Susanna also drifted away from Jenna. Her mother's sudden illness and the troubles of adolescence made Jenna depressed, so she wrote her wish behind a star on the ceiling: Mom, if you die, I will commit suicide. But with the help of her good friends and the encouragement of her mother, Jenna overcame her confusion and depression, and regained the confidence to face life bravely. She finally changed that sentence to: Mom, even if you are no longer here, I will live better.
