Making Toast by Roger Rosenblatt

"Boppo" and "Mimi" gave up their easy retirement life in a minute - the very minute their daughter Amy suddenly dropped dead. Immediately, the couple pares their life down to a spare bedroom in Amy's home, and raising her family.

Even though it's a book about grief and survivorship, this is actually very positive, funny tale. The family gets through their grief with warmth, love and companionship. I wished I had known Amy, and readers will long to be a part of her family.
