(1) YA Thirteen-year-old Gwen comes to trust her new friend Clara enough to divulge her family's deep secret--that her mom left five years ago because Gwen's dad fell in love with another man. Filled with both humor and poignancy, the novel subtly introduces the gay-dad story line, and ultimately it's the girls' supportive and honest friendship that takes center stage in this well-crafted story.
