But someone else is interested in Mama: Mr. Coles, Allieās teacher, whoās also Gwenās uncle! Mama canāt marry himāno way is Allie going to be related to Gwen. On top of it all, Allieās best friend is moving to Chicago; Allie keeps getting in trouble; and everyone seems to think sheās jealous of Gwen, for some reason. Nothing is going how she planned, but Allie is determined to get things back on track toward the life she knows she and Mama both deserve. . . even if Mama doesnāt agree yet.
