Now What?

This book is a children's version of an event that occurred to my father and his seven children, through the unexpected death of our mother with ages ranging from four month to twelve years old me being the youngest. As personally having experienced this event, my main purpose is to reach those families that might have in the past experienced or presently experiencing a similar situation. The purpose is to give you the reader an insight of our experience and how my father handled the chain of events to keep us safe and together during the most vulnerable time of our lives called childhood.
