The Things we do for love

 


After the horrible experience of reading "Annie's Rainbow," Jeri and I took on this Kristen Hannah book, which was wonderful.  This is a family story, featuring Angie, who has always wanted a baby, but can't bring a pregnancy to fruition.  After her father's death, she decides to return home and see if she can't help the family restaurant, which is failing.

At the same time, there is Lauren, a high school student with an alcoholic mother, who is trying to raise money to pay the rent on their apartment.

Angie and Lauren become friends.  Lauren goes to work in the restaurant and becomes part of Angie's family, especially after her mother leaves her.  

Lauren has some serious problems which tear her away from the family, but she and Angie manage to work things out in a way that is satisfactory for both of them.

This was such a fun read!
