(3) YA Shawna feels abandoned and betrayed by her mom, who left her and her overbearing father for a woman. When Mom dies suddenly, Shawna is forced to take a closer look at the past and the mother she barely knew. A gripping sequence of events leads her to discover disturbing secrets, while the stirring narration reveals lessons about family, friendship, love, and tolerance.
