Sixteen-year-old Andrea Anderson begins her sophomore year feeling
hopelessly average and plain, struggling to survive each school day unnoticed and to avoid her single mother's wrath. But when her homeroom teacher commits suicide in the teachers' lounge, Andrea begins to reevaluate her cautious existence. She doesn't shy away when a reclusive neighbor, diagnosed with cancer, needs help caring for her Saint Bernard and sprawling gardens.

A brilliant story of the meaning of true intimacy and how a deep meaningful relationship can curve and shape all that follows on the journey to adulthood.
...when I got to the parts where Andrea learned and grew, and I knew the book wasn't only about Honora; she was just the life-altering key factor in making Andrea who she is today. I recommend this refreshing book to anyone who's in the mood for a good, honest, heart-warming/wrenching read.
