Still Summer Tekijä: Jacquelyn Mitchard
Beautiful, haunting recount of trip of lifetime for four friends that ended in terror and survival.
Good story. Mom gets MS;dad leaves;LD son takes care of family with help. Seems somewhat disjointed, but comes together in the end.
Good story about families struggling to have the right to adopt a child whose parents were lost in a car accident.
Divorcee and son find happiness with a new man in their lives. Struggling relationship gets kind of old.
