Precious

I won an autographed copy of this book from Goodreads.com. It is by new author Sandra Novack. The book tells the story of The Kisch family in the summer of 1978. Their ten year old neighbor has gone missing, the mother has left her family, and the seventeen year old daughter is having an affair with her teacher. The family also includes nine year old Sissy who is just trying to get through her summer having to deal with all the emotional things going on around her and the father who can be distant at times.

I was really hoping to really like this book but I thought it was just okay. The book seemed to jump around alot and I had a very hard time getting into the book. The storyline itself was pretty good. If the author made the chapters flow together a little better this would have been a really good book.
