(3) YA Art school in Paris is put on hold when Tera's artist father is arrested for possessing child pornography. Tera's denial creates an unreliable narrator, as years of manipulation and repression slowly unfold. Despite the artistic lens examining nudity vs. obscenity, readers will detect clues of abuse. Maysonet honestly, yet delicately, highlights issues such as victim-blaming, shame, and difficult sexual relationships.
