Peter doesn't need mothered… After his mom suffers a brain injury and his dad walks away, Peter Stafford, his big sister Star, and their broken mother move to a small town to live with Pete's grandmother. While Star fights the changes every step of the way, Peter wants to make this work, but what do you do when your mom thinks like a ten-year-old? Wendy Pickens knows she mothers people. Smothers people. Her younger sister and everyone else point that out all the time. But how can she stop being who she is? When she finds a new guy hiding in the park one morning, all those maternal feelings get going, and not with the best results. Why would God send her Pete, who doesn't think he needs even one mother, let alone two? Does God not know her at all? But their issues are their strengths, and his loss and her smothering might lead them to rescue one another and a few other lost souls along the way. Part of the Snack Cake Chronicles young adult novel series, Pete and the Water Tower is a Christian teen read that's just as appealing to adults. Read them in any order, tales about growing up, growing in faith, and learning to love.
