The Usual Rules by Joyce Maynard

THE USUAL RULES

A deeply affecting coming-of-age novel set in the aftermath of September 11, told through the eyes of a thirteen-year-old girl whose world is irrevocably changed by loss. As Wendy moves between grief, displacement, and unexpected new connections, she discovers resilience, compassion, and the fragile ways families rebuild when the rules they once lived by no longer apply.
