A new book from M.E. Kerr is always a cause for celebration. SOMEONE LIKE SUMMER will join other of her works like DINKY HOCKER SHOOTS SMACK as a novel that breaks new ground. Annabel loves Esteban from the moment she sees him playing soccer. He is handsome and talented. Soon, the two are together as often as they can find the time. Despite her father's objections and Esteban's sister's fury, they fall in love. However, Esteban is an illegal. His status in the US is shaky at best. How can their love survive these odds? In a modern-day Romeo and Juliet, Kerr avoids many of the pitfalls of telling this story. Annabel and Esteban play against type and stereotype.
