The Lucky Lawrences — Kathleen Norris
MUST HER FAMILY ALWAYS COME FIRST?
As the oldest in a family without parents, Gail was always too busy being a mother to her brothers and sisters to have time for dates and parties. But when a young man, attracted by her good looks and charm, begins to court her, she is breathlessly happy.
Unhappily, she loses him when the needs and pressures of her family prevent the young couple from getting to know each other better.
Then luck gives her a second chance. This time Gail realizes that if she fails again, she might never get another opportunity for a life and love of her own.
But before her romance has a chance to fail, her younger sister steals her suitor for herself. Now Gail must ask herself once more, "How long must I continue to sacrifice myself for my family?"
