(3) YA Seventeen-year-old high school student Zoe gathers her courage to move out of her alcoholic mother's house. She finds temporary refuge in a rented room on Lorelei Street. Subsisting on tips from her diner job, a desperate act causes Zoe to again reevaluate her situation. Pearson's third-person narration perfectly fits the tone of a girl who keeps others at arm's length.
