Waiting On Wednesday, is hosted by Jill at Breaking the Spine and asks the question, "What are books are you anxiously waiting on?"
Author: Francisco X. StorkPublisher: Arthur L. LevineRelease Date: January 1,2012
Two sisters discover what's truly worth living for in the new novel by the author of MARCELO IN THE REAL WORLD.
TWO SISTERS: Kate is bound for Stanford and an M.D. -- if her family will let her go. Mary wants only to stay home and paint. When their loving but repressive father dies, they must figure out how to support themselves and their mother, who is in a permanent vegetative state, and how to get along in all their uneasy sisterhood.
THREE YOUNG MEN: Then three men sway their lives: Kate's boyfriend Simon offers to marry her, providing much-needed stability. Mary is drawn to Marcos, though she fears his violent past. And Andy tempts Kate with more than romance, recognizing her ambition because it matches his own.
ONE AGONIZING CHOICE: Kate and Mary each find new possibilities and darknesses in their sudden freedom. But it's Mama's life that might divide them for good -- the question of *if* she lives, and what's worth living for.
IRISES is Francisco X. Stork's most provocative and courageous novel yet. (Publisher's summary from Amazon)
I loved Macelo in the Real World, which was an book with wonderful and honestly portrayed characters, not to mention a very realistic plot and excellent writing. Irises sounds like another character driven story with an intriguing plot drawn from real life.

I was so intrigued by Marcelo in the Real World when it first came out, but never got around to reading it. Must rectify that, since you loved it! Irises sounds fantastic and definitely a moving novel. Great pick!

The premise sounds awesomesauce. This is my first time coming across this book, so I'm excited it for it now. I've never read this author's books before, but still WOW.

I have yet to read Marcelo...but I did recommend it to several students! This one sounds very interesting!
Great pick! That's a gorgeous cove and it sounds like a fabulous read too. That's a win win in my book.
I like character-driven stories and it seems like they'll be well fleshed out in this one. Great pick!
I came across this the other day, and I was so intrigued! Fab pick, Jan!
PS - so happy to see the old comment system back :)
I am so drawn to the sweet cover of this one! It sounds like an intense read, though!
I haven't read anything by Stork yet, but the story sounds pretty good. Interesting premise how the girls are orphans and yet not--I can't imagine how hard it's got to be when you're a teen caretaker of someone in a permanent vegetative state.
Thanks for the rec!
Smiles!
