An easy read with a good message

I read this book in one sitting ( a few hours) and although it wasn't mind blowing or anything I did enjoy it. The Waiting Sky is similar to the movie Twister(the book opens with a quote from the movie) but only in the aspect that they are tornado chasers and have a machine they are trying to gather information with. Its a book about the bond between brother and sister and how they each deal with their mother's alcoholism. Throw in some romance and some tornado team rivalry and you have a nice little story.
