Coming Out (2006 original; edició 2006)

I have not yet read this book.

A short, but sweet book that tries to pack a lot into a few chapters. It has to do with passing on traditions and whether or not they should be passed on, how children can surprise their parents, and how important family should be, no matter what it looks like. ( )

This is much too short a book to handle all the issues Danielle Steel tries to pull in. (Spoiler) But they all live happily ever after. ( )

Max all to herself as he started school for the new year.

The oldest son has a lot of options as to what he will be doing with his life.
The girls find out they have to goto the ball or their father won't pay for their educations
at Brown. The Jewish mother in law even wants to go. It's a traditional thing for Olivia, the mother who at her coming out, last danced with her father before he died.
