Lock and Key by Sarah Dessen
Ruby is a seventeen year old girl who has been living alone after being deserted by her abusive mother. Her older sister Cora, who left the trio years ago to attend college brings her into her beautiful new loving home along with her husband Jaime. Suddenly life is different for Ruby. She attends a rich new school, lives in a beautiful home, and has people who love and care for her. Transformation and forgetting the past however is not so easy. Ruby finally learns to let go and allow others to help her build her life back up. She builds a friendship/relationship with her handsome neighbor Nate. Nate however, ends up needing her just as much as she needs him. In Dessen's heartwarming tale, readers will cheer for Ruby to let go of the past and let love in. The tale also reminds me of how strong sisterhood is and the love that I have for my own siblings.
