Synopsis

Four girls. Four generations. One family.
The second entry in the beautiful new series from Ann M. Martin.

Dana is Abby's daughter -- but she's always been much closer to her father, Zander. He's a celebrated New York author who encourages Dana's artistic talents . . . even if he sometimes drinks too much. Dana is on his side in any argument, regardless of whether he's wrong. And then her father dies.

After years of moving, often with her mother and three siblings, Dana is angry at Abby, and wants nothing more than to leave her family and get back to New York City. She moves in with her young, bohemian aunt Adele, determined to study art, attend school, achieve independence, and avoid all the mistakes her mother made. But can she leave her family and Maine behind?

This is the second book in Ann M. Martin's Family Tree series. I loved the first book. The second book... eh, it didn't really live up to Better To Wish.

I'm enjoying this series and look forward to the next two generations. In this one, Dana, one of the twin daughters of Zander and Abby, the focus of the first book, adores her father despite his imperfections.

Goodreads review by Genevieve on April 25, 2014

While I enjoyed the first one quite a bit, this one was just not as enjoyable. Danica (main character) was not very likeable. I also just want to say for the record that not everyone that wasn't completely enamored with John F. Kennedy was a cold-hearted, ignorant bigot like Danica's grandfather. It......more
