It's better when she's happy. Bobby is a geeky teen who is convinced that his new foster home is everything he has ever hoped for. His foster mom Katya is so different than any he has ever had; but as her behavior becomes more and more unpredictable and disturbing, he comes to realize that both he and Katya's daughter Zane are in trouble. The crazy thing is, Bobby doesn't want to leave her, and new revelations from Bobby's own forgotten past throw his quest for a real family into further turmoil. -Absolutely intriguing story! I loved it! The story line was amazing it kept me wanting to read, and wondering what was going to happen -By-Pass is a book that will make you think, laugh at times and cry a lot. It was a very good story, emotional and sensitive... I loved the Breaking the Pattern Series from the first book to the last page of the third book -An inspiring theme about changing direction in life
