Fiction by Ann Napolitano.
This book begins with William Waters, a boy born to damaged parents who cannot seem to connect with him. He grows up tall and latches onto basketball like a lifeline; later it's observed that basketball was the first thing that ever loved him back.
But really the story is about the four Padavano sisters. Julia Padavano meets William on his first day of college and almost immediately absorbs him into her loving and chaotic family. Julia is a girl with big plans --her father Charlie calls her his rocket-- and she has the future mapped out for herself, William, and all of her sisters. But life doesn't always conform to Julia's plans.
This was a really good story. I enjoyed the characters a lot!
