A Theory of Relativity by Jacquelyn Mitchard


This is not a new book but it was a good one if you like family dramas - which of course I do! Georgia McKenna Dye is killed in a car accident when this book begins. She left behind a toddler named Kefer. Very sad for Kefer but a blessing for Georgia. Shortly after giving birth she was diagnosed with late-stage cancer. She had been fighting a losing battle for months while she suffered every moment. And Kefer lost her father, Ray, in that same accident. Ray was a professional golfer and had to travel if he wanted to earn a living. Because of that and the fact that Georgia couldn't take care of herself, much less Kefer, they had been living with Georgia's parents, Lorraine and Mark. Georgia's brother, Gordon, had also moved back to teach in his hometown so that he could be there for his sister and niece. The McKenna's assume that Kefer will stay with them - but Ray's family has different ideas. This book is also a good lesson for anyone who has kids - get a will and choose a guardian!
