Product Description
Amy Prescott is just your ordinary, everyday high school senior -- beautiful, brilliant, athletic, able to pick the hunk of her choice, and a scholarship to Harvard nearly in her hands. Okay, maybe not so ordinary. She has her life planned out and it's an exciting, adventurous plan. She can hardly wait for the next step. But ... Forced to care for her grandparents in Montana during Christmas break, Amy finds her orchestrated world is about to snap. A cantankerous grandfather who doesn't want her help, but needs it because of a stroke. A grandmother who is the sweetest thing ever, but suffers from Alzheimer's. And family members out to protect "their share" of the estate. As the children seek to solve the "problem," Grandpa, a master cello maker who can no longer do his craft, reluctantly shares with Amy the story of his great adventure - how he met and won the heart of his wife in Vietnam. Amy has more immediate concerns. Is her boyfriend dating someone else when she's not around? How can she fend off the Montana boy who has taken an interest in her? And then there's that Harvard thing. Amy doesn't need any of this. Not now. Her life is planned. It's a perfect plan. At least it was.
My review:
This is a heart warming tale about family. I really liked it. My dad passed away three years ago, and there were definitely parts of this book that made me cry. There were other parts that were funny as well. This is worth the read and I recommend it to everyone, not just young adults. The plot is good, and I really got to know Amy and sympathize with her.
I am giving this book a 5/5 and can not wit for more by this author. The writing style is easy to follow and I really enjoyed the ending as well.
I received one or more of the products mentioned above for free using Tomoson.com. Regardless, I only recommend products or services I use personally and believe will be good for my readers.
