"It's the 1960's Midwest, and Ellee Crumb McKutcheon wants to change the world, starting with her mother, but she's having trouble even getting her teachers to know her real name. So Elle sits at the Comeback Cafe, her broken heart lying there on the table, when a three-armed waitress and a quirky stranger show up and hand her back the pieces."
My Mother's Wish is about a teenager and her girlhood wish to be called Ellee not Eleanor. It is about her desire to be recognized for the person she is, not who her mother wishes she was. On Christmas Eve, the miracle happens and begins a new life for Ellee.

That sounds like a great read. I am always looking for books for my daughter and I to read. I can't keep her in books, she reads them so fast.
