(2) YA One night Dawn's father, having turned into "something else...another dad," did the unpardonable; now he's been missing for two years. When Dawn, fifteen, is befriended by bad girls Taylor and Mel, past trauma and present danger begin to merge. Complex questions of forgiveness and loss of faith permeate the narrative, related in a spare, scattered voice that aptly reflects Dawn's fractured psyche.
