(2) YA A stranger hands Rowan a photographic negative that turns out to be a picture of her dead brother, Jack. Readers will stick by Rowan as she builds relationships with the stranger and with Jack's secret girlfriend while acting as a surrogate parent for her little sister. Valentine's warm, graceful first-person narrative develops the characters' bonds and highlights their vulnerability.
