The death of a father that a 32-year old army nurse had barely seen brings her responsiblity for a 17 year old brother that she had only met once before when he was 6 years old.  Neither of these individuals has ever experience a warm, loving family and their relationship, while cordial, is not close.A dynamic young man, who is a friend of the brother, enters the picture.  Does he represent the solution to the young man's problems, or is he a threat?  In the end, the siblings have begun to learn about each other and form bonds, and although they may not have figured out the dynamics of a perfect relationship - they have begun to identify the key components.I found the book to be an enjoyable quick read, and to be thought provoking.  I will look for more by this author.
