Thank You For All Things
by Sandra Kring

won from Stark Raving Bibliophile

At eleven, Lucy McGowan knows she'll be a psychologist when she grows up. And her quirky and conflicted family provide plenty of opportunity to practice. Now Lucy, her "profoundly gifted" twin brother, Milo, her commitment-phobic mother, and her New Age grandmother are leaving Chicago to care for her dying grandfather in Wisconsin. In the rural town Lucy believes she will find the missing pieces to the puzzle of her past and possibly the truth about her missing father. But she discovers so much more - lessons in love and forgiveness that the adults around her will need help remembering if their family is ever to find peace and embrace the future.
