(3) YA This evocative, accessible verse novel limns high school grad Vera's flight from her disconnected family and grief in the wake of her younger sister's drowning. Holed up in a podunk desert mining town, Vera discovers she can live beyond her loss. At novel's end, when Vera states "I have re- / placed / my / self," readers will cheer her resilience.
