Will My Mommy Come Back? tells the story of two twin children and the distress they go through upon encountering their mother's prolonged absence. Jarrett and Blake's family follow a schedule of things to do, which vary little everyday except on weekends. From the family routine, they have come to expect to see their parents and other important people at certain hours and places in a given day. However, when their mother fails to return home one day, their routine radically changes, and soon, the twins find out just how much they look forward to their mother's love greeting them every day. The author embarks on an exploration of a child's delicate psyche and the effects that the absence of one family member can do to the child's mental and emotional conditions.
