A Friend at Midnight, by Caroline B. Cooney

Summary: After her brother is abandoned at the airport by her father, Lily has to learn to cope with the situation, and perhaps even forgive her father.

Thoughts: I think this might be the author responsible for every single random reference to band that I've ever noticed in a work of fiction.

I wasn't expecting God to be mentioned at all, and certainly not play an important part in the storyline.

This is kind of a downer of a book. It's more reflective than most of the stuff I've read recently, possibly even moving into the realm of depressing. But I think everything works out as well as it can in the end, so it has what passes for a happy ending within the framework of the book.
