As Good As Gone--#80 finished

 This is about a family in Montana in the 1960s.  The family is having problems both on the surface and also underneath the surface--individually where they are not talking about these problems.  Wife is having surgery done out of town & husband is going with her.  They have a senior girl in high school and an 11--I think, I finished over a week ago so working off memory--boy.  The husband talks to his very much estranged dad to come and help out with kids while parents are out of town.  Good story about this grandpa and why estranged.  Good relationship stories about husband, wife and wife's family.  Also good stories about the problems the kids are having but not wanting to tell anyone.  Neighbor helps out and has some romance with grandpa as well.  Well written and interesting stories. 

I did just go ahead and post this book on PBS, it is the only copy in system.  I have enough credits so wasn't going to post but figured why not.
