Practically Family - Kelly Capriotti Burton

nFirecrackers weren't meant to sit in a box. They were meant to explode.n n nn nBrittney doesn't know if she should be embarrassed or grateful. She has a job that pays bills, a family who loves her, and a best friend who is the best.

But after a gut-wrenching betrayal and the loss of her dad in a tragic accident, she definitely feels stuck.n n nn nNothing is wrong, but nothing feels right either. n n nn nOnly when she finds herself uprooted from her single-wide haven does she start moving again, first into a ridiculous roommate situation, then - bless her heart - toward a brooding musician, who also happens to be her best friend's estranged brother. n n nn nIt's a mess, but Brittney comes from complications made beautiful.

Her mama, Jessie, is still navigating her new marriage -- and that of her best friend Maggie, who storms into town like a hurricane, bringing her own romantic chaos with her. n n nn nJoin the Oakley-Jameson family - and those who are practically family to them, who live, love, and learn the hard way in the beautiful oceanside South Carolina town of Surfside Beach.n n nn n nn
