(4) YA Brooke, an academically-minded loner, is looking forward to transferring to a better high school, but everything changes when her mother is arrested for murdering Brooke's abusive policeman father. Brooke struggles to make grades, pay rent, and keep her siblings together. While the sensational plot--and Brooke's emotional journey--proceed unremarkably, Brooke's hesitant relationship with her first girlfriend is tender and well drawn.
