This was an interesting YA book with the requisite number of problems.  It is about  two sisters, Kate 18 and Mary 16.  Their father dies and their mother is in a persistant vegetative coma. They sisters are faced with the bills, needing to move out of the house, as well as neither of them drives.  Throw that in with dealing with grief, personal relationships, the future, and school and you have quite a book.  Should qualify for a Truman Nominee.  It's quite good.  It asks some of the big questions of faith and values.  It is also the first book I've ever read where the characters are Hispanic, but are just characters who happen to be Mexican American.  It's not a "Minority Hispanic Character" which is how it usually is in a book with any Hispanic minority.  Very refreshing.
