Right as Rain

Lindsey Stoddard, author of Just Like Jackie, wrote this, so I had to read it.  It was a sweet, yet mature, story of a girl named Rain who has lost her brother.  The family makes a fresh start in New York, but the loss can not be left behind.  Rain feels responsible for the death, the mom is distracting herself from the loss by working too much, and the dad can't get out of bed with depression.  Rain finds new friends who share her passion for running and finds a way for the family to have a purpose again.  I enjoyed the way the author wove the tragic night into the story as flashbacks.  (FIC STO)
