Joanie's ex-husband is having a baby with his new girlfriend. Joanie won't be having more babies, since she's decided never to have sex again. But she still has her teenaged daughter Caroline to care for. And thanks to the recession, her elderly mother Ivy as well. Her daughter can't seem to exist without texting, and her mother brags about "goggling,"-while Joanie, back in the workforce, is still trying to figure out her office computer. And how to fend off the advances of her coworker Bruce. Joanie, Caroline, and Ivy are stuck under the same roof, and it isn't easy. But sometimes they surprise each other-and themselves. And through their differences they learn that it is possible to undo the mistakes of the past.

Sarah Morgan's world is spinning out of control . . . and it couldn't have happened at a more confusing time. While coming to grips with the truth about the recently deceased father that she idolized, Sarah must also contend with beginning her freshman year at a high-profile Dallas high school where if you see an old, beat-up car, it probably belongs to one of the teachers. While navigating halls overrun with phonies and cheerleaders, Sarah's quest to make peace with the old and grow with the new extends even to her relationship with her best friend. Now the two are forced to understand that with the future comes new and strange feelings, and with them, change. As a result of these often hilarious and sometimes heart-wrenching moments, Sarah learns that there are many different conditions of love.

Ruth Pennebaker's first novel for teenagers was Don't Think Twice, an ALA Best Book for Young Adults, which Kirkus Reviews labeled a "masterpiece." Praise for Pennebaker's biting wit, sharp insight, and appealing characters was unanimous. Now the author turns to a Dallas high school full of rich blondes, and to one thoughtful, hilarious, brunette with a deeply broken heart. Through fourteen-year-old Sarah Morgan, the author explores dating, friendship, and family--all the Conditions of Love.
