The Dream Collector

ok so i'm not really in a condition to rate this book sinc ei read it what must have been like 5 or 6 years ago and i don't remember it all that well. but i do remember it was about a girl and her family and what happened when her parents became separated because her mother was having an affair...and all of this while everyone in hte family is dealing with their own problems! it's a tough load, but Joyce Sweeney writes it with realism and a gentle hand. Her characters are wholly believeable, with that earnestness that makes you wish you knew them. i liked this book a lot. i wish i could find it again in the library to reread it.
