"Hey, Miss Robinson, want to know how to figure out your porn-star name?" asked Russell Clark, bouncing on the balls of his feet toward the school bus.
"I think I'll make it through the day without that." Lily Robinson put a hand on the boy's shoulder to keep him from bouncing off the covered sidewalk and into the driving rain.
Here's the book's synopsis from Amazon:
Lily Robinson and Sean McGuire have nothing in common. She guards her independent lifestyle with a ferocity that hides a fear of love and the pain it can bring. He's always been a rolling stone, making his own way. But with the sudden deaths of a couple close to them both, the two become joined in grief and a knowledge that they must step up and care for the three orphaned children.
With little more than hope and dedication, these five embark on a cross-country road trip filled with the ups and downs, the joys and frustrations that make up a family. Along the way, Lily and Sean and these troubled children will discover that even when you've lost everything, love still remains.
A prolific author, Susan Wiggs's books always entertain, and this one is no exception.

Russell Clark comes up a couple of times in the book. He's just a rambunctious little kid.
DeleteI remember the porn star name meme! I think it involved pet names LOL! Thanks for visiting Read@UTS!
ReplyDeleteMe too, and I think you're right about pet names being part of it.
DeleteThat was a nice guiding hand!
ReplyDeleteThe main character is a devoted teacher. Wiggs does a good job of showing that.
DeleteHa! The one I heard involved pet names and street names.

Deletei can't help myself, anytime I hear Miss Robinson, the Mrs Robinson song sticks in my head, and then the teaser throws in the porn star name.. I think Mrs Robinson would do just fine, LOL. Sounds like a good read, happy reading, Book Savvy Babe
ReplyDeleteMe too! Am I revealing my age here? "Hide in the hiding place where no one ever goes. Put it in your pantry with your cupcakes."
DeleteThis one sounds really good, but also like it could be quite an emotional read. I hope you enjoy(ed) it! Thanks for visiting!
