When Dani sets out to uncover her father's past, she also discovers her own future.

Raised by her mother, eighteen-year-old Dani Lancaster only had six weeks to get to know her father, Sam, before he lost his battle with cancer. It was long enough to love him, but not long enough to get to know him — especially since Sam didn't even know himself.
In this two-book bundle, Dani meets and loses her birth father, and then sets out to uncover his real past.

      Gr 7 Up-In a field of palpitating hearts and dystopian societies, this realistic novel is a refreshing change. Eighteen-year-old Dani Lancaster is not deeply troubled, her stepfather is not a monster, she has a wonderful relationship with her parents, and no one is bullying her. Instead, the story focuses on the death of the biological father she barely knew and the inheritance he left her. Dani, by choice, meets with her father's attorney alone to receive her inheritance, and then goes on a bit of a road trip through British Columbia in which she begins to discover her paternal roots and manages to save a dying town with the help of her entrepreneurial stepfather. Butcher adeptly creates a feel-good story that has the flavor of Jonathan Friesen's Jerk, California (Speak, 2008), sans the angst. This follow-up to Truths I Learned from Sam (Dudurn, 2013) can easily stand on its own, but Butcher's overreliance on cliches and pat plotlines may get tiresome. VERDICT An additional purchase for librarians who are looking for more docile titles to add to their collections.-Jodeana Kruse, R. A. Long High School, Longview, WA
