Angel is used to relying on no one. But when her mother is murdered by her boyfriend--who then comes after Angel--she needs a place to hide. Though she is putting others in danger by accepting their help, Angel learns that the people you let in become the people you love. Stark narrative voice echoes the desert setting in this survival tale.
