Trowbridge Road by Marcella Pixley
Set in 1983 in Boston, ten year old June Bug Joran is struggling with the loss of her Father from Aids. Her Mom is not (mentally) in the best place, as June Bug struggles to live a (somewhat) normal life. Along with her new best friend Ziggy, who lives with his grandmother (Nana Jean) the two rely on each other for support and try to cope with their trying times.
A fantastic story dealing with the stigma of Aids, when it first became prevalent, and not much was known about it. Mental illness is also approached, which takes a toll on everyone, and the damage that can occur when not addressed.
The story moves at a steady pace, with attention to detail, true facts, well developed likable characters. Family is torn, hearts are broken, friendships are gained, life lessons are learned. Overall I found Trowbridge Road an emotional, compelling read, I highly recommend to all.

You know there is a group for ER reviews that you want to put in talk.
