Notes
'You are a small thing, and you must learn to fight.' Swiv has taken her grandmother's advice too literally. Now she's at home, suspended from school. Mom is pregnant and preoccupied - and so Swiv is in the older woman's charge, receiving a very different form of education from a teacher with a style all her own. But time is running short. Grandma's health is failing, the baby is on the way, and a family of three extraordinary women prepare to face life's great changes together.
