Review: A Family by Accident
Rating: 4 out of 5
Date: 09 5, 2011
Two horrified families.  One brother and sister from each family are in a terrible accident.  Their remaining sister and brother are left with no funeral, a memorial service to be held within 48 hours, and a baby to look after.  As Jonas and Robin deal with their grief, they must find a way to come to terms with and work as co-guardians to raise Tony, their 14 month old nephew.  They both have busy careers and limited interest in or knowledge about raising a baby.  So what do they decide to do?  They become "an accidental family".  Follow them on their rocky journey.  The characters are interesting and well developed.  The descriptions and dialogue made me laugh, cry, pause to appreciate a scene, and want to give a smack to the back of some heads. I was especially moved the portrayal of Tony's grief.  Donna Fasano does not disappoint in yet again another great read.  I actively pursue each new novel by her and look forward to the heartwarming stories she weaves.
