This is not an easily categorized short story - it's not strictly a romance,  or a mystery or even a coming of age... It follows the story of Sam but the main POV is the his elder sister, Dana,  who has to take on her virtually unknown sibling after their father dies.  Really nicely written - random sample - when a pivotal character,  Sean Gordon arrives, Dana observes "He stood there on the porch with all the assurance of a man,  and with the pout of a child."  - so much information,  so gracefully given.And I liked the bit with the racooons.  On the basis of this I would look for other works by Sarah MacManus.593 locations
