IT'S JUST ANOTHER October day until Erin Vincent's parents are hit by a speeding tow truck. Mom dies instantly. Dad dies one month later after doctors assure Erin that he's going to make it. Erin and her teenaged sister, Tracy, are left to raise their baby brother, Trent--and each other. Their beloved uncles blow what little money they had, family "friends" disappoint, kids at school are jealous, and their grandparents threaten to take Trent away from them.
This is Erin's story.

Reviews

"After any death, there is bound to be searing anger as well as grief. In this amazing tale of woe, venality, treachery, larceny and plain old-fashioned abuse, Erin Vincent tells the story of her parents' death, and the harrowing Dickension fallout which then ensued. GRIEF GIRL is a story of righteous indignation, bruising sorrow but a final triumph that has you cheering for this wonderful woman by the end."
