Now this harrowing companion novel examines the same events as they unfold in New York City, revealed through the eyes of seventeen-year-old Puerto Rican Alex Morales. When Alex's parents disappear in the aftermath of tidal waves, he must care for his two younger sisters, even as Manhattan becomes a deadly wasteland, and food and aid dwindle.
     With haunting themes of family, faith, personal change, and courage, this powerful new novel explores how a young man takes on unimaginable responsibilities.]]> 1318 3.97 5813 1815 2008 458480 0385731205 9780385731201 12 http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1174937936m/458480.jpg http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1174937936s/458480.jpg http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/458480.The_Year_Without_Michael 3.26 54 1318 3.97 5813 1815 1987 1786639 0385325231 9780385325233 6 http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1188338351m/1786639.jpg http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1188338351s/1786639.jpg http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/1786639.Jo_s_Story 3.85 53 1318 3.97 5813 1815 1997 439015 0440413516 9780440413516 2 http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1174776195m/439015.jpg http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1174776195s/439015.jpg http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/439015.Beth_s_Story_Portraits_of_Little_Women 3.76 41 1318 3.97 5813 1815 1997 123816 0440413451 9780440413455 0 http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1171862964m/123816.jpg http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1171862964s/123816.jpg http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/123816.Meg_s_Story_Portraits_of_Little_Women 3.74 39 1318 3.97 5813 1815 1997 439017 0440413540 9780440413547 2 http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1174776195m/439017.jpg http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1174776195s/439017.jpg http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/439017.Amy_s_Story_Portraits_of_Little_Women 3.73 30 1318 3.97 5813 1815 1997 872047 0440220041 9780440220046 5 http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1179082948m/872047.jpg http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1179082948s/872047.jpg http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/872047.Twice_Taken 3.65 26 C.

When they return, Matt brings with him a girl named Syl, who he introduces as his bride. But that's not the only shock Miranda and her family have to deal with. A few weeks later, Miranda's father, stepmother, and baby brother show up at her door. Accompanying them are three strangers, a man named Charlie Rutherford, and two teenagers, Alex and Julie Morales. These five people have crossed America together, becoming, in their own way, a family.

Miranda's complicated feelings about Alex, curiosity, resentment, longing, and passion turn into love. Alex's feelings are equally complex. His plans to escort Julie to a convent where she can be taken care of, so that he will be free to enter a monastery, are destined for failure. He wants desperately to live up to his moral code, but his desire for Miranda is too strong. He proposes to Miranda that they take Julie and go to a safe town.

But before Miranda and Alex can go off together, a devastating tornado hits the town of Howell, and in its aftermath, Miranda makes a decision that will change forever her life and Alex's, and the world that they live in will never be the same.

But as soon as Meg meets the groom's much younger sister, Julia Thorpe, the two girls clash. Meg can't believe that Julia dislikes Lily and is angry when Julia changes the wedding song seconds before the ceremony. What's worse, when the wedding couple takes off on their honeymoon, Julia comes to stay at the Marches!
