First I loved the cover. http://www.chroniclebooks.com/titles/the-meaning-of-maggie.html
While reading it, I adored the main character Maggie. Ms. Sovern developed a believable, likable character with lots of depth. All the characters are well developed. Love the footnotes "Maggie" includes throughout the book.
This book focuses on one year of a family's fight to as they adjust to life with a father suffering from Multiple Sclerosis. It seems like the book is a bit of a memoir.
*Highly recommend for older readers-see below:
Points to discuss/warnings: references to marijuana (medical and otherwise); french kissing, making out and sex mentioned (in junior high manner/point of view); the attitude that God is too busy to hear and answer their prayers; cocktails and other alcohol references
