From National Book Award longlisted author Sherri Winston comes an
important middle grade novel about a girl's tumultuous journey to
keep her family together, even when she's falling apart. Sharkita
"Kita" Hayes is always waiting. Waiting for her mama to mess up.
Waiting for social services to be called again. Waiting for her and
her siblings to be separated. Waiting for her worst fear to come
true. But Mama promises things are different now. She's got a good
job, she's stopped drinking, stopped going out every night-it's
almost enough to make Kita believe her this time. But even as
Kita's life is going good, she can't shake the feeling that
everything could go up in flames at any moment. When her assistant
principal and trusted dance coach starts asking questions about her
home life, Kita is more determined than ever to keep up appearances
and make sure her family stays together-even if it means falling
apart herself. As the threat of her family being separated again
circles like a shark in the water, the pressure starts to get to
Kita. But could it be that Kita's worst fear is actually the best
thing that could happen to her family . . . and to her?
