Yup, it's a bonus day- 2 book giveaways!
This book is different from the Last Letter in some ways, and in the same genre in others.
Synopsis: It's early summer when Ginny and William's peaceful life in Vermont comes to an abrupt halt.First, their daughter Lillian arrives, with her two children in tow, to escape her crumbling marriage. Next, their son Stephen and his pregnant wife Jane show up for a weekend visit, which extends indefinitely when Jane ends up on bed rest.
When their youngest daughter Rachel appears, fleeing her difficult life in New York, Ginny and William find themselves consumed again by the chaos of parenthood - only this time around, their children are facing adult problems.By summer's end, the family gains new ideas of loyalty and responsibility, exposing the challenges of surviving the modern family - and the old adage, once a parent, always a parent, has never rung so true.
Review: I devoured this book in 2 days! You will find yourself rooting for everybody in the story, understanding everything the parents do and say, and thinking of your own siblings and your relationships with your parents! The book is the perfect compilation of the issues affecting families today and how multi-generational families co-exist (for better or worse).
I found myself smiling a whole lot at how William interacted with his grandkids and kids- sharing many of the qualities of my grandfather! This is another perfect Summer read and one that you will wish had a sequel, as you won't want to leave the family behind!

She received a B.A. from Providence College and a master’s degree in English Literature from New York University. This is her first novel.
