(4) YA Sisters Mary and Kate, brought up in a conservative Christian family, face difficult choices after their father dies suddenly. They're left to care for their mother, in a persistent vegetative state for years. Despite stiff writing and some flat characters, Stork deserves credit for candidly presenting the provocative scenario of a religious family struggling with the issue of euthanasia.
Reviewer: Christine M. Heppermann
