What if you're the normal one in the family?

Cathie Linz's book, Good Girls Do, is a contemporary romance that asks the question - what if you're the "normal" one in the family? Julia is enjoying the small town life as the local librarian, when her mother, sister and niece move in. Her wandering mother is an hippie/new ager, her sister is the wild one of the family- following in mom's footsteps, and her niece - well let's just say she's not a average kid. And then she meets the former bad boy of the town - Luke who comes back to take over his dead dad's bar. Julia has spent a lifetime trying to recover from a chaotic childhood and enjoys being part of this settled community. Luke has had a crummy childhood and it not sure he wants to come back to the place he started from. Julia and Luke both learn about each other and a bit of perspective on their pasts and how they fit in the community. Fun read, nice twist on the characters- worth a look. Hope the sequel with the sister is just as good.
