Synopsis
Five schoolmates share the stories of their parents' estrangements, divorces, and remarriages and the effects these events have had on their lives., While on a school sleep-over trip to an old mansion, five students discover a Victorian-era journal that reveals a boy's unhappy relationship with his stepfather. Reading the journal prompts the five to tell their own stories about their step- and split-families.

Industry Reviews
"The family situations are all different but all credible, and the book is fair-minded about interpersonal dynamics, with culpability spread around and hope available to all, if sometimes at a cost. Fine is one of the best contemporary writers about changes in individual families..."
Bulletin of the Center for Children's Books - Deborah Stevenson (05/19/1996)
