But it’s with older brother Mac-quiet, watchful, and protective-that Sydney finally feels seen, really seen, at last. Chatham, who even though ailing is the heart of the family. There’s effervescent Layla, who constantly falls for the wrong guy, Rosie, who’s had her own fall from grace, and Mrs. Drawn into their warm, chaotic circle, Sydney experiences unquestioning acceptance for the first time. Now, after a drunk-driving accident that crippled a boy, Peyton’s serving some serious jail time, and Sydney is on her own, questioning her place in the family and the world. Peyton is handsome and charismatic, but seems bent on self-destruction. She's grown accustomed to her brother, Peyton, being the focus of the family’s attention and, lately, concern. "Saint Anything is a poignant, honest story about how we might suffer the misfortune of someone else's bad choices, how people who love us can become family when we desperately need it, and how starting over might - miraculously - mean taking a solid leap forward." -Jodi Picoult, New York Times bestselling novelist of Leaving Time and My Sister’s Keeper A TIME Magazine Top 10 Children's Book of 2015
