Walk Two Moons

This one definitely deserves the Newbery Medal that it received.  It's a story about mothers and daughters and how interconnected they are. 

Sal takes a road trip with her grandparents in order to find her mother in Idaho.  Along the way, Sal tells the story of her friend, Phoebe who has her own mother issues.  This is another "kleenex box book"! Prepare yourself.
