Truths I Learned from Sam

I loved this story by Kristin Butcher. Her work is so accessible and yet very clever. At the threshold of adulthood, her protagonist, Dani, discovers more than she expected when she visits a relative she didn't even know existed. And through that, she learns her mother, who is off on yet another honeymoon, is more than she gave her credit for. The book made me laugh and cry and when a book does that, I can't help but give it top marks.
