Alive and Well in Prague, New York

Daphne Grab wrote Alive and Well in Prague, New York which is literally an amazing book.

Matisse Osgood is a true city girl who is forced to move to the country because her dad has Parkinson's disease (PD). Alive and Well shows Matisse coping (and not coping) with her dad's disease. Matisse learns more about trusting and relying on your friends, opening up to people, such as Hal, as sweet farmer boy, and letting people really get to know her. This book is heavy, but it made me cry and it made me laugh as well. [Literally, tears were streaming down my face while I was reading it.] To lighten it up a little, readers will enjoy the romance in the book as well.
Matisse is a very strong person, and her friends are very supportive. She makes mistakes sometimes, but she ultimately learns to deal with her life instead of trying to escape.

Alive and Well is scheduled to hit the shelves in June 2008.
