Four girls. Four generations. One family.
The second entry in the beautiful new series from Ann M. Martin.
Dana is Abby's daughter — but she's always been much closer to her father, Zander. He's a celebrated New York author who encourages Dana's artistic talents . . . even if he sometimes drinks too much. Dana is on his side in any argument, regardless of whether he's wrong. And then her father dies.
After years of moving, often with her mother and three siblings, Dana is angry at Abby, and wants nothing more than to leave her family and get back to New York City. She moves in with her young, bohemian aunt Adele, determined to study art, attend school, achieve independence, and avoid all the mistakes her mother made. But can she leave her family and Maine behind?

      Kim Mai Guest gives a sensitive and compelling performance of a story that depicts family issues at a watershed time in American history. Guest's range of voices differentiates the characters' personalities--Dana and Julia, who are 7-year-old twins; their young cousin; and their brother, who has Down's syndrome. After moving many times with her family, Dana wants returns to the life she has longed for in New York City, but she feels torn about leaving her family. Guest's careful modulations also bring out the story's 1960s setting and mores, which are often revealed in the characters' interactions: In hushed tones Dana's mother reminds their father to curb his drinking, and a slow, somber announcement informs the family of the assassination of JFK. Guest's natural delivery complements the powerful story. M.F. Winner of AudioFile Earphones Award (c) AudioFile 2014, Portland, Maine
