This is taken from The Rescue by Nicholas Sparks
Kyle had been born four years to the day after her mother had died.
Here "her mother" refers to "Kyle's mother's mother".
I have problem understanding the meaning of this sentence. Does it mean "Kyle had been born after four years on the same day when Kyle's mother's mother died"?
Best Answer
The date of Kyle's birth was exactly four years after the date of her grandmother's death: the same month and day-of-the-month.
