An Occasionally Happy Family

 









Since Mom's death Theo's family hasn't been the same.  Dad is preoccupied with work and he and his sister don't get along.  When dad announce they are taking a trip to Big Bend to enjoy nature Theo is not happy - he's not really an outdoor guy.  Laura discovers that dad didn't even really plan.  When they get there their family doesn't seem all that different.  Then dad reveals the big surprise - a girlfriend who is a life coach.  The family isn't doing well to begin with and the another person is thrown into the mix!  Can Theo and his family find happiness - even occasionally.

This was pretty standard fare.  It was okay and for a student maybe dealing with the death of a parent and the other parent dating it might be good.  I did chuckle out loud once so points for that.
