Kimberly Brubaker Bradley wrote this true-to-life novel for teen readers. It looks at abuse and trauma, and how they harm children. It shows their effects on both the mind and body. It also looks at strength, healing, and the love between sisters. The story has both humor and grief. It treats hard subjects with frankness and hope.
