Calli is having trouble getting along with Cherish, the foster child her moms have welcomed into the family home. When an argument between the girls escalates into a physical altercation, Cherish is taken to a juvenile center. Calli feels guilty and wonders if it's too late to clear the air. Though her introspection weighs down the plot, Calli's redemption is rewarding (if not suprising).

YA
Fifteen-year-old Manz starts the summer working on a ranch, dreaming of other places, and coping with his mother's drinking. But he quickly spirals into a confusing medley of hallucinations and paranoia, as schizophrenia takes over his mind. Manz's family history provides an intriguing backdrop, but his mounting delusions seem too neatly constructed and the resolution isn't entirely satisfying.
