Jeri, I have to say I almost wanted to stop reading this one after the first two chapters.  I was beginning to think it was only for young adults, but I am glad I kept going.  In the beginning, at times it was hard for me to understand the language.  The girls talked in text which I could figure out, but Aunt Opal, who I love, was really hard at times to follow her conversation.  This story is about Dacey and her step sister, Aria.  When Dacey was nine her father married again, since her mother died at her birth, and his wife had a daughter who was five.  At first their relationship was strained but as time went on they got as close as any two sisters.  This is a story of loss, heartache and love.  When Dacey is twenty two she is in college and she also takes care of her aunt Opal.  Aunt Opal has been having memory problems and she checks on her every day to make sure she is okay and taking care of herself.  Dacey also has a boyfriend of almost two years, Trevor, who she loves very much.  Aria is also starting college and she is very excited.  She has a relationship with Dacey's father, that she wished she had, but he always blamed her for her mothers death.  Tradgedy strikes Dacey and Aria's life and throws them into a tail spin and then a short time later Dacey suffers another loss.  I truley felt her pain and I cried more than once reading this book and I couldn't put it down.  You could read it as a stand alone, but I know there is another book coming and I can't wait.  You really need to read this one.
