Gleason Beal steals all the money from the diner Addie and Hope are currently working at, leaving them searching for work. G.T. Stopp has been diagnosed with leukemia and is in need of a head cook and a waitress, meaning Addie and Hope. They move to the diner and are confronted with a political campaign as G.T. decides to run for mayor. As newcomers to the town they are quickly wrapped in the town politics, especially as some kids from the school put together a campaign and Braverman asks Hope if she would like to join. Joining the campaigning, Hope finds friends she's never had, and the workers at the restaurant give her the family she's never had.
Review: Good book of finding out what life is about and the ability of friendships and the way they change lives
Now You Know: Sex and drinking are big deals and so is death.
