For someone who lives in routine and control, Michael is now trying to find his new normal being the guardian of his niece Sonnie and dealing with the death of his sister. Poor Sonnie, her mom is gone, a new school, new friends and bullies. Melissa is the school counselor and is drawn to Sonnie. Melissa harbors her own issues. As Mel and Michael are put into each other's orbit the path to giving control expands as the all find that sharing their truths make it all manageable and safe. This is a story of acceptance and managing internal anxiety. This story made me chuckle, gasp and brought me to tears while cheering this family unit on.

This is the 1st book I've read written by Jakki Frances; she has done a great job at writing a good book; I can’t wait to read more of her books.
