My Lost and FoundLlife By Melodie Bowsher pg. 1-62

Summary
 Ashely's mom leaving off like that is definitely a hard thing for Ashely to take in. It's like the minute  your about to end with doing the baby stuff in school and focusing on your future something bad happens that completely throws you off. And your left with nothing besides a house that has all your stuff. you only have  money that is on you at the moment.  Ashely is going to college and five days before she graduates from high school her mother disappears and supposedly people are claiming that she embezzled one million dollars from her company. Ashely has no siblings, her father died when she was fourteen. By looking at the situation Ashely is left alone with a big house  and her cat Stella. Plus her class is having a senior class trip to Hawaii which she ends up not going to because she has no money at all. Ashely ends up hanging out with the wrong crow. For example while Nicole Ashely's best friend is at the trip one of Ashely's other classmate  Tattie ends up hanging out with Ashely very often. Tattie does drugs, is very wild and likes to go to different clubs nigh time. Taitte's mother somewhat acts like Tattie but Tattie does not get along with her mother. Because of Tattie Ashely ends up doing drugs for the first time but end up meeting some strange people. That usually Ashely will not even seem to pay attention to. Ashely is the type of girl that is popular. She is prom queen, and is known to get everything he wants, Ashely's dresses in expensive clothes and she also does whatever she wants. So it will be interesting to see how she handles things and how difficult it will be for a type of girl that gets everything?

quote
" I grabbed her satiny blue bathrobe and slipped it on over my clothes. It was as close to having her arms around me as I could get. Tears , the same tears I had been fighting to hold back for days , began to trickle down my cheeks and then turned into a flood. my heart hurt so much I did not think I could bear it." ( Bowsher 45)

Reaction
 This is an example of what makes me want to read more. All the descriptions for example how the tears feel down her face. Another thing I like about this quote is I honestly don't think the author should  of wrote the last sentence in the quote above. I say this because you can already see that Ashely is having a tuff time with her mother gone and how desperate she wants her  mother back. We can already see the frustration that Ashely is going through. Plus when Ashely put on her mother's bathrobe i knew exactly that she really does miss her mother and she is not the type of person that would think in this situation I need my mother back because I need a new sweater for the dance lets say. Because the day before her mother disappeared they had  a fight and Ashely is giving her mother the silent treatment and its hard to have your mother missing after you got in a fight. It's like leaving off on a bad foot.
