Amys | 3 comments I read this book in the late 70s or in the 80s. I think the teenage heroine lost her parents in an accident, possibly due to fog, and had to live with family friends who she knew since childhood. They were not relatives. In the story she is lost and drifting through life. A brother in the family she stayed with was older than her by a few years. He gave her a hard time by always correcting, scolding and getting after her. He always seemed upset or annoyed. At some point in the story they ended up wrestling on the floor and there was some chemistry. At the end of the book she was driving alone when fog descended, paralyzing her with fear. He knew her fear of fog and rescued her. That's when she realized he loved her. I think the cover of the book was white with a drawing of a girl's face, maybe with the guy or something in the background.
