The Other Family Book

It's 1968 and 14-year-old Joan is trying to figure out what to do with her life while struggling against the mistakes and irresponsible behavior of her parents. Though she and her brother Hugh live in western Massachusetts with their eccentric father, every July 4 they visit their mother, who has run away to be a hippie in New York. Although Joan's mother has the clothes, the talk, and the hippie attitude down pat, her life revolves around the family of her older sister, Iris, who seem to be modern-day versions of Edith Wharton's New Yorkers. Joan becomes fascinated by the wealth and the happiness of this "other family" in comparison to her own, but soon learns that appearances aren't always what they seem.Read More
