Can any mother help me?

Emily says it's my turn to choose, so how about Can any mother help me? by Jenna Bailey. Comes highly recommended by a friend and is 'the true story of friendship through a secret magazine' started in 1935 when a young mother wrote to a magazine asking readers for help. Should be different.

Helen, what did you think of The Sea - I very much enjoyed it, though wasn't expecting to - I only really read it because it was a Booker winner and i've read all of them, and handily found it in a charity shop. Banville is supposed to be 'difficult' but I found it very straightforward - but maybe I missed something?
