Ugh! I have to admit this book made me tear up! I pride myself on dodging tear jerkers at all costs and this one crept up on me.
It is a highly realistic story of a girl adjusting to the remarriage of her father and the acceptance of the stepmother.
The memory string holds generations of buttons, each with a tale. When the string is broken, the buttons scatter throughout the yard. Most are easy to locate, but the final one remains in the grass. The girl eavesdrops from her bedroom and is pleasantly surprised by the character of her her new stepmom. The next morning is a fresh start in building this new family.

This could be a good story to share with younger ones who are struggling with a change in their home structure due to divorce or loss of a parent.
