Ever since her mom’s death, Melanie has dreaded the holidays. This year, though, she has to put on a happy face: Amy, one of the underprivileged children she’s been a friend to, is spending Thanksgiving weekend with her! When a kidney becomes available for Miguel’s ailing mother, he drops everything to be by her side. In a moment of desperation, he vows he’ll do anything, anything, if only his mom will get well. Will Miguel have the chance to make good on his promise? Now that Eight Prime is this close to buying a school bus for needy kids, there’s no further reason for them to stay together. Nicole’s ecstatic: She’s free! At last she can go back to her regular life. The funny thing is, she doesn’t really want to anymore... Maybe achieving their goal isn’t the end . . . just the beginning of everything else. Book 6 of the Clearwater Crossing Series
