The Usual Rules

                                                 The Usual Rules
Author: Joyce Maynard



Thirteen year old Wendy lives with her mother, stepfather and younger brother in New York City. Her life is turned upside down one day in September 2001, when her mother goes to work and never comes back...
Struggling to move froward in there lives, Wendy is brought to a new home, California, to meet her real father.

The Usual Rules is a story full of love, forgiveness and hope, making the readers feel the loss through Wendy's words as the family rebuilds there new life. 

I like this story because it is based on a true accident that happened in September 2001! The author Joyce Maynard, has made the readers feel the pain through Wendy's thoughts and words causing any reader to feel the love and loss from Wendy to her mother.

I recommend this book  to any reader who enjoys a book about reality and how painfully conflicting life can be.
