Cat's dearest friend, Brian, was not one of Doug's favorite people. Trouble followed him around. He was driving at the time of the crash. Now Cat would never be the same. ""Not as good as new, " the doctor said. "She's going to need help from all of you." In a moment, life unraveled. Dad said they might even lose the house. So he took a promotion to district manager--one he didn't want, since it meant more time away from home. And Doug gave up his dream of college, took a job, and watched his girlfriend, Jill, head off to college as planned. Then came the questions.
