The cover shows the little girl sitting on the stoop, in utter despair.
Pia feels such dread - she knows things are not right. Then the flu takes her mother, leaving her with infant twin brothers.
Bernice’s baby boy is also taken by the flu, leaving her wanting to die herself. The book conveys the desperation and despair of the time very well.
