Thirteen year old Wendy lives with her mother, stepfather, and
younger brother in Brooklyn. Her world is transformed one day in
September 2001 - her mother goes to work that morning and doesn't
come back. Through Wendy's eyes, readers follow her slow and
terrible realisation that her mother has died, and the family's
struggle to move forward with their lives. Wendy's journey takes
her to California with her real father where she forges friendships
with his cactus-growing girlfriend, a teenage mom, and a sad
bookstore owner with an autistic son, and begins to understand the
deep love and connection she has with her brother. The Usual Rules
is an unexpectedly hopeful story of healing and forgiveness that
offers readers a picture of how - out of the rubble - a family
rebuilds its life.
