An unforgettable narrative collage told in poems Keesha has found a
safe place to live, and other kids gravitate to her house when they
just can't make it on their own. They are Stephie--pregnant, trying
to make the right decisions for herself and those she cares about;
Jason--Stephie's boyfriend, torn between his responsibility to
Stephie and the baby and the promise of a college basketball
career; Dontay-- in foster care while his parents are in prison,
feeling unwanted both inside and outside the system;
Carmen--arrested on a DUI charge, waiting in a juvenile detention
center for a judge to hear her case; Harris--disowned by his father
after disclosing that he's gay, living in his car, and taking care
of himself; Katie--angry at her mother's loyalty to an abusive
stepfather, losing herself in long hours of work and school.
Stretching the boundaries of traditional poetic forms--sestinas and
sonnets--Helen Frost's extraordinary debut novel for young adults
weaves together the stories of these seven teenagers as they
courageously struggle to hold their lives together and overcome
their difficulties.
