All Strings Attached oleh Joseph Colicchio

It's the summer of 2008. As mom Linda Moore pushes forward in her battle against cancer, her sons are about to set out upon their summer adventures, one planned, one not. Alex Moore has just graduated college, and he and friend Billy set out on the mythic American cross-country journey. Little brother Tommy, forced to complete a summer internship for having failed a high school course in "life skills," is assigned to what he calls "geezerville," that is, Bon Secours Continuous Care Facility. Neither of their experiences go quite as expected, and from them arise these true tales from a single summer.
