Touching Snow

(2) YA Haitian American middle-schooler Karina takes refuge from her violent home by volunteering at a community center. When a same-sex friendship becomes more than platonic, Karina begins to question the lies she told to keep her abusive stepfather out of jail. Karina's biting voice narrates this stomach-churning account of domestic violence. Remarkably nuanced characters give humanity to this emotionally challenging read.
