"Most people take things like food, safety, and indoor plumbing for granted, but for 15-year-old Carey and her little sister Jenessa, they feel like foreign territory. Raised in isolation and eventually abandoned by their abusive, meth-addicted mother, the sisters must learn to navigate normal life - school, friends, clothes, relationships - when they move in with Carey’s father and his new family. Readers will be immediately drawn in by Carey’s haunting, intimate narration and her painfully moving struggle to confront the crushing secrets she hides in this lyrical, unforgettable, and emotionally powerful debut."
