First Impressions — Laura J. Burns

Ephram Brown has a pretty good life in New York City -- great friends, a gift for playing the piano, and a really cool mom. The only thing he doesn't have is the best relationship with his dad, famous neurosurgeon Dr. Andy Brown. How could he when the great Dr. Brown is too busy saving lives to spend any time with him?

Then Ephram's mom dies suddenly in a car accident. And, as if things couldn't get any worse, his father loses his mind and decides to move the family to a tiny town in Colorado called Everwood. There are good things about living in the sticks, though. Well, one thing, anyway -- Amy Abbott. She's beautiful and cool and Ephram falls for her immediately. The catch? Amy has a boyfriend who's in a coma -- and Ephram's dad, ironically, might be the only one who can save him....
