Very entertaining story of young innocent romance amid home
adversity. The characters are optimistic and hopeful while dealing with pretty serious life issues. Alex and Maura grow close under the pressures of families falling apart. The side characters are well developed and interesting. The young sister and grandfather were great additions to the story. There is a powerful buildup and tension with the father's condition. An enjoyable read about young love. I recommend this story to Middle Grade on up.
