Reader reviewed by Tonya Martin
About halfway through reading this book I looked on the back cover flap to check out the author. I was amazed to discover that this was Nora Raleigh Baskin's first novel because it is so sharp and skillfully written.
Gabby Weiss is facing young womanhood with no mother, a father who loves her but is distant, and an older brother who's... well, a typical big brother. Until Taylor came along, she never even had a best friend.
Though filled with self doubt, Gabby is very courageous deep down. Instead of withdrawing she reaches out to those around her, with touching results.
