![]() She clings to her dear friends, but they too are changing. Her parents' grief and depression, and her father's affair with another woman, finished the marriage, and Jes still cannot accept this loss. The death of Jes's baby sister when Jes was eight years old was the beginning of the end. Jes spends a lot of time with her sad father, especially at the lake cottage where they share so many memories of happy times before their family disintegrated. So she is not enthusiastic at all when her mother plans to remarry. She wanted to believe in "happily ever after," and "forever," but the breakup of her parents' marriage has soured her belief in commitment. Jes is a thoughtful young teenager trying to make sense of her ever-changing world. ![]() Kids Can Press (2250 Military Rd., Tonawanda, NY 14150). ![]()
