Replacing Dad

Friends of American Writers Award. Once upon a time, in the small town of Palm Key, Florida, there was a model family. The father, George, was the grade-school principal. The mother, Linda, loved George. And both loved their three happy children--Drew, Mandy, and George the Second. Then George the First dumped Linda for Mandy's fifth-grade teacher. The story, which Linda and Drew take turns telling, is filled with the courage that families thrive on.
